Imagine being a German soldier, and suddenly seeing (and hearing!) this Dutch motorised timpanist bearing down on you! With that staunch expression, and wildly wielding his timpani sticks, no army will stand in the way of this guy!

You just gave Battlefront their next release. +1 to morale for sure.

Too bad they couldn't have settled the war with a drum battle.

His job was like the drummer on ancient galleys; he set the pace.

All of the engines' pistons had to fire in perfect sync with his drumming.

Great alternative photo, Brownbear – he is certainly a distinctive guy!

I wonder how he even gets heard, with all those revving engines behind him?
