The Corps of Drums
The Corps meets at the Grenadier Guards Club, Windsor on the second Sunday of the month commencing at 1030 hrs. We would welcome all ex Drummers irrespective of their Regiment or Corps who wish to join us and to help keep this traditional musical skill alive. Sadly many Regiments have disbanded of recent years as the Army has shrunk, and the Corps of Drums and Regimental Bands have often been the first victim of the many cuts in defence spending. It is for this reason that we have formed the Association to keep these traditions alive.
