[edit] On Band vs Corps of Drums

Ok, a few things which need clarifying over the issue of 'Corps of Drums in the British Army'.

- A Corps of Drums is a completely different thing to a Band in the army. Therefore the band of the Royal Logistics Corps and the Band of the Royal Marines (which isn't even in the british army anyway) are not examples of Corps of Drums. Some bands, such as the marines, maintain extra drummers who will do drum solos etc, but these are not Corps of Drums in the British Army sense.

- It is completely redundant to list the examples of 'Corps of Drums of the Coldstream Guards 1st battalion' and 'The Duke of Wellington's regiment (which doesnt exist anymore anyway)' as every single infantry battalion in the army has one, see the top of the article.
