    A drummer is someone who plays drums. In a band, the drummer keeps time so the others can stay together. The word is ordinary and used everywhere people talk about music. Though actually, in older American English a drummer could also mean a travelling seller who went from town to town — from the idea of “ up” business, making noise to get people to buy. That use is dated now. There is still another, separate older use in Australian English, from drum meaning “house,” but that is not the musician. If you meet drummer in a song, a concert, or a school band, it is the person at the drums.

組成From drum + -er (the suffix for a person who does that thing). The musician sense is the one you want here.
