The Drummer is a Cadaver enemy in Darkest Dungeon II.
Description
Even in (un)death, Drummers still coordinate the movements of the soldiers of the Lost Battalion.
The Drummer is a powerful back-line support unit whose abilities amplify the effectiveness of its allies. Offensively, the Drummer is capable of giving 
Order tokens to its allies, enabling the use of powerful area-of-effect attacks. The Drummer may also mark a hero, singling them out for attack. Defensively, the Drummer tries to avoid damage by ordering an ally to guard it. Finally, the Drummer provides a permanent team-wide 
Buff to RES, so that whenever the Drummer is alive, the entire enemy team is practically immune to being moved.

Notes
- Death Before Dishonor is used if and only if the Drummer is the last enemy alive. Aditionally, because it targets himself and not the heroes, the stress cannot be avoided with Blind or
Dodge Tokens. - Focus Fire has an alternate version that targets specifically a hero under half HP instead of a random one.
Trivia
- The Drummer is the only know enemy that has a different animation when one move gets resisted (If Focus Fire's taunt is resisted it will play another animation than the normal one)
- An unused ability for the Drummer called "Sound and Fury" can be found in the localization files.
