drummer

A drummer is someone who plays the drums, usually as part of a band or orchestra.

You'll often hear about drummers when talking about music. For example, if your friend's favorite musician is their drummer, it means they really enjoy listening to the drummer play. Sometimes people will say "I'm going to see my favorite drummer live" and that means they're excited to watch them perform on stage. In some cases, a drummer might also teach lessons or work as a professional player in a recording studio.
