		Foreign percussionists may have first gained a place in British military music in the Crusades during the Middle Ages; a manuscript in the British Museum dating from the 1300s shows a negro carrying a pair of kettledrums for a drummer marching behind, while playing the cymbals himself.
		The 29th Regiment of Foot (much later to become First Battalion, The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment) apparently made a specialty of employing coloured drummers.
		At the surrender of Guadaloupe, ten boys were enrolled as drummers in the regiment, and were estimated to be "remarkably good drummers." In 1824, the Regiment specifically recruited eleven boys from Africa to fill vacancies in the band, and the tradition of maintaining coloured drummers extended over an eighty year period.
