Drummer radios were manufactured by a company called William Edge of Bolton, Lancashire, England who were originally a manufacturer of household washing products, the most famous of which was "Dolly Blue". Very well known in the UK.

Their trademark was a drummer boy which appeared in their advertisements for their cleaning products, and when they went into radio production in 1933 as a subsiduary company named Edge Radio Ltd, they used the name Drummer as a brand name.
