 Once the Grenadiers have finished their foot drills and maneouvers, it is time for the Drums of the
Royal Newfoundland Regiment of Foot to take the field.
The combination of fifes, bass, tenor, and sheepskin snare drums immediately captures the attention of the audience. Lead by the
Band Major spinning his mace and directing their movements, the Drums perform an impressive array of maneouvers while
playing a combination of time period and traditional Newfoundland music.
To finish their display the Drums march and stop directly in front of audience members, where the fifers steal the show with their
solo. And then it is time for the talanted drummers perform their infamous solo known as the "Drummer's Call"!
The Fifes and Drums perform in the Signal Hill Tattoo every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 11:00am
and 3:00pm at the Signal Hill National Historic Site from July to August. Click here for directions to the show,
