A person who plays the drums; a drummer, particularly in older or regional Scottish English usage.
From 'drum' + '-sler' or '-ler' (agent suffix), similar to how 'whistle' becomes 'whistler.' This variant form appears in Scottish historical records.
This old-fashioned term for a drummer shows how every instrument had a specialized word for its player—drumsler sounds almost musical itself, like it should describe someone who makes drumming into an art form!
