In a military context, music can serve to create and maintain a warlike spirit, act as a means of communication, assist movement, and enhance morale. With the regimentation of battle tactics and the increasing importance of the need to keep step, drummers became an essential part of European armies. The plate depicts a drummer in a field outfit.

Richmond) asserts the need for at least nine separate stones to achieve such richness, but in fact the number of stones used was often more than twenty. The plate is in its original state; one margin is yet untrimmed, with the original stab-holes.
