You haven't given us much context, Gurgen. That said, I have never heard of a musical instrument called an elephant. This does not mean that there is not one, especially considering the new electronic devices that make music these days.

  • Something called an elephant may very well exist in recording studios, etc.
  • My guess, however, is that "elephant" refers to a person who joined in playing the drums while the speaker was performing his guitar solo.

It means the animal. However, it's a deliberately nonsensical sentence to prove that the boy isn't paying attention to the conversation he's supposedly having with the girl.
