Meaning and background
The story behind Drummer
Drummer is a straightforward English occupational noun: someone who plays a drum. The word has also had more specialised uses, but the musical sense is the relevant everyday one. It is not evidence of an old family-name lineage or of a dog's rhythm, energy or disposition. As a call name it has two beats and a clear first syllable, which may appeal to someone choosing a music-inspired nickname.
