This drum reflects the distinguished military heritage of the Grenadier Guards, one of the oldest and most prestigious regiments of the British Army. Inspired by the traditional wooden-shell rope tension side drums carried on ceremonial parades and military occasions throughout the Victorian era and beyond, it reproduces the appearance and character of the regimental drums associated with the Household Division. Its construction meets the standards of a true professional instrument, built for performance rather than display, making it an excellent choice for professional musicians, historical reenactment groups and living history organisations. Note: This drum is also available with the emblem of other British Army regiments. Please contact us with a clear image or reference of your regimental badge when placing your order.
