The sound is composed by Nathaniel McCallum, according to the copyright file included in its package. Most likely, it is original content.
$ head -n 6 /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-sounds/copyright
This is Ubuntu's GNOME audio theme.

For users who are unaware, the "system ready" drum roll refers to the sound played when the user has reached the login screen. The sound length is 1 second.
The sound is available as system-ready.ogg file that is included in the ubuntu-sounds package, or can be found at full path on your system as below.
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready.ogg
The package is installed by default in Ubuntu releases only.
