I dont know if this question has been raised in the passed or not, if it has i apologise for this post.

Perhapse a member of the drums/band could answer this question!!!

Why does the drum major/senior ranks/ band master wear bears skins as apposed to busbies, if that is what they are - worn by the rest of the band/drums.

I was just curious not knowing the history behind their ceremonial use?
