Bards can play one of three drum performances.

'Tale of the Tongues' only becomes available once the main questline has been completed.

'Age of Aggression' is played in Imperial-controlled areas, while 'Age of Oppression' is played in Stormcloak-controlled areas. If the politics of the city changes the available song will also change to match the new political environment.

Depending on the political climate of the location the bard is playing in, either 'Age of Aggression' or 'Age of Oppression' will be available.

Those songs are detailed in the books Songs of Skyrim and Songs of Skyrim: Revised.

There are five songs able to be requested during the game, although a bard can only play two or three of them depending on if the main questline has been completed.
