The illustrations of Dietrich show a Guard NCO with a button on each side of the collar near the front edge. Otherwise, the uniform as for the Other Ranks. NCO's may have followed the fashion of the time and had silver lace on the cuff and tricorne. Based on the available evidence, there appears to have been no uniform distinctions for musicians. They wore the same uniform as the Other Ranks.
Drums appear to have been painted.
The shell was painted red with downward reaching flames in the facing color forming a triangular pattern. Rims in alternating vertical stripes of red and the facing color. The Polish-Saxon Arms or Saxon Arms may have appeared on the drum shell. The sash was either worn around the waist or over the right shoulder. In 1715 the gorget was authorized.
