A musician who plays the drums, especially the percussion instrument that keeps the beat in a band or orchestra.
From Middle English 'drummere,' derived from the word 'drum,' which may come from Dutch or Low German 'trom.' Someone who plays the drum is called a drummer—a straightforward formation that's been used since medieval times.
Drummers are the heartbeat of music—literally! Your brain synchronizes to drum beats automatically, which is why dancing happens naturally when drums play. Ancient cultures used drummers for everything from warfare to healing ceremonies because of this primal connection.
