Of course I realize that you're picturing the Scots bass drummers with bagpipe bands, with their twirling stick choreography, but I have trouble projecting that onto historical military units, when the military has always emphasized discipline.
Well not that so much, but yes, that's a good example. I've read descriptions of timpanist playing style from the early 18th century, and it seems from the accounts, to have been rather showy stuff. Which makes sense for the way they understood how music was to function, pomp and circumstance and all that stuff.
