DescriptionA military drummer stands on a base. He wears a high blue hat with a white plume tuft on top, blue jacket and white pants. His two arms are bent at the elbows and pinned through the upper torso. Each hand holds a drumstick. A drum is attached to the body below the waist. The figure stands on wooden box with a green painted top. A wire crank protrudes out of the front. When the crank is turned, the arms move up and down simulating drumming.
