Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

You tend to call them "rounds" when you shoot them. "I fired ten rounds from the gun."
Don't know why, really.

Thank you as always, Belthazar! That's interesting. If I had read the sentence without knowing the meaning, I would have misinterpreted it!

I would guess "round" as in shot comes from the musket ball or cannon ball. The round nouns are said to come from the adjective "round" and there are loads of both.

That is interesting. Come to think of it, 玉 in Japanese is read as たま, meaning "round", and 弾, or "bullet", is also read as たま.

A friend of mine plays a Tama drum kit, which I am sure is Japanese.

TAMA is a Japanese drum maker, but I'm not sure where the name comes from....

There is a Western drum maker called Pearl. I'll ask him if he knows.

So... Tama drums. Originally they were a cheap brand called Star Drums. In 1974 they moved up-market and changed their name to Tama. So maybe "pearl" or "gem" was just a better image, or perhaps it was copying Pearl Drums (who are a good brand). Anyway, these days Tama are top quality.

There are of course other meanings of tama but I don't suppose Tama intended them. :-)
