Drummers....

How did you like the drummers of ETW?
looked pretty g*y huh?
if you agree i have bad news for you because the drummers got the same skin in NTW

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

concentrate on the drummer right on the left of the GB flag...

in ETW i accepted them because they mostly looked like that in that period.
Although most of the NTW skins look pretty good (on the screenshots...) i have to admit that i dont like the fact that they didnt reskin the drummers.
in the napoleonic era most drummers wore the uniform of their regiment


CA would do a great job if they would correct that before release or with a patch

The screenshot you are using is an old one. Those drummers are just place holders.

lets hope

haha lets hope they don't play that stupid 'all out' drum roll.

Yeah I assume that the drummer is a placeholder, because that flag certainly should be!

Dont care

Least they ain't those darn santa bands knocking around anymore.
With those hats, I always expected the Claus himself to pop out and shower the Brits with the finest prostitutes from jolly old London and the French with some moustaches to wear.

lets hope they are placeholders, i would be happy

They didnt I assure you, most drummers wore Bearskin or Mitre caps, and in the case of many regiments drummers were african slaves in turbans, sometimes forced to wear riding boots...

You can see the new British drummer at 2:19-2:22 in the new gameplay video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6t547DHr_s&feature=sub at 0:57 you see a drummer and he is wearing the same uniform as the other units

The drummers are hopefully jsut placeholders, like the Scots infantry and British Line infantry, which are really jsut Light Infantry.

Mr. Jack Lusted confirmed that there will be musicians like pipers and bagpipers, that was a solid promise from him, so this time there definately WILL be music on the battlefeild!

Huzzah for that!
