Can we just have the nerfed bosses so we dont have to have drums?

Why else would they choose to do this, then?

The reasoning is because that’s how the drums functioned originally, and the drums were not made a part of the meta until 2.3 when they were buffed.

They don’t want to change the drums because they probably are too bad at their jobs to manage it (or are too lazy).

@Kaivax

While it’s true that we’re generally planning to implement items (and spells and maps and everything else) in their patch 2.4.3 state, this one stood out as something we should make an exception for. By default, we don’t want to change the behavior of items from patch to patch, so we think the right thing to do is to introduce the greater drums as a new item, so that the behavior of the original items doesn’t have to change.
