A drummer was responsible for the army drums for use on the battlefield. Drums were part of the field music for hundreds of years, being introduced by the Ottomans to Europe. Chinese armies however had used drums even before that. With the professionalization of armies, military music was developed as well. Drums were not only used for the men to march in step, but were an important part of the battlefield communications system, with various drum rudiments used to signal different commands from officers to troops. By the second half of the 18th century, most (if not all) Western armies had a standardized set of marches and signals to be played, often accompanied by fifers.

  • Con il termine tamburino si identifica il ruolo di un militare di fanteria che, con il rullo del tamburo, impartisce la cadenza di marcia alle truppe. Nel passato il diverso ritmo del suonatore serviva a trasmettere ordini all'esercito nelle battaglie. (it)
