I meant to pace length though =P The tempo is fine.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Got a booklet from my tambour-maître today, to practice the drum roll to beat during the raising of the flag. It has all the original Dutch drum calls in it. Really interesting stuff, although it's from 1971 =D

Unfortunately there are very few drum calls. Most are for Trumpet or Bugle.

The list for drum calls is:
- Wilhemus (20 seconds for raising the flag)
- Parade march at 80bpm
- Opening and closing of a ceremony where a royal decree is read.
- Banner march at 75bpm
- Honour drum roll (usually done when a general is speaking at a ceremonial setting, the number of rolls representing the number of stars of the general's rank)
- Standing at attention
- Assembly
- Tattoo

These are the official drum calls for the Dutch army. I am trying to find some historical ones tha they used in battle, but it's a challenge to find

Our regulation book has all trumpet (most of them are for trumpet) and drum calls in military use, not many of them either way. I believe some even date back to 18th century.

Personally can play all the drum calls, most common marches and cadences in our use with drums, however not a band member. Ended up being an FO in the wish of shorter training time and not having guts enough to go through the tests for military bands.

As a fan of especially military music, been many (voluntarily) times at concerts of my brigade's band for example. Next stop would be going to see "Tattoo" events.
