drumbeater
- n a fervent and even militant proponent of something
- Leiper, a drumbeater for the local Chamber of Commerce, needed a gimmick to promote the opening of Gatlinburg's new Pigeon Forge golf course and hit on a surefire teaser: atomic .
- Said Owner Richard Pope, who as head of the state advertising commission is Florida tourism's top drumbeater: "Just look at all those $2 bills walking around!".
- Not as a drumbeater but as a simple resident many years younger than the 68-year-olds you mention, I consider your story unfair.
