@MrYoTambor The Drum Major is an NCO of the Corps of Drums as mention below. The usual Drum Major you are reffering to with the golden upper part of the tunic is a rank of a Warrant Officer. That is why he carries a sword. When the Drum Major is of lower rank than a Warrant Officer, he wears the silver decorations on the Corps of Drum's tunic (not golden). The one in the video is a Lance Sergeant thus Junior NCO and doesn't wear the sash which is worn by Senior Sergeants and upwards.
@MrYoTambor If the Drum Major's role is carried out by a Senior NCO (Senior Sergeant and Colour Sergeant) the tunic is still silver despite the fact that the chevrons on the sleeve have to be golden. I assume that Drum Major can be carried by any enough experienced member of the Corps of Drums when it is necessary but I'm not sure.
That guy is a Drum Major, the Drum Majors aren't actually part of the Regimental bands the are in fact part of the Corps of Drums, thus they are actually part of the 1st Battalion's of the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards.
