British 43rd Regiment of Foot Drummer Standing, 1780

Drummers and fifers were important components of an infantry company, not only signaling important battle commands, but everyday duties by beats and tunes. Reversed colors of their uniforms made bandsmen easy to identify by officers and men alike. So too did the lavish embellishments applied to the facings (collar, cuffs, and lapels) of their coats. This drummer of the 43rd Regiment wears a white coat with red facings rather than the red coat with white facings (as did the rest of the regiment). In addition the facings were often decorated with false buttonholes made of woven woolen tape (lace) in various widths. Lace patterns were specific to the regiment and could be in white, yellow, or white with a series of colored lines.
