A passionate team making a diverse range of MULTI AWARD winning programmes and series

We are Drummer TELEVISION

We love to make distinctive programmes that people want to watch.

Drummer Television is a multi award winning television production company established in 2012 by Tamsin Summers and Rachel Drummond-Hay. We are driven by two aims: to make distinctive programmes with integrity that engage audiences through compelling stories, great characters, and honest insight; and to be the best company we can be, attracting talented, dynamic and ambitious people who can thrive and shine with us.

A great team

There’s nothing we value more than a great team

Whether it’s the people working with us in production, our contributors, the talent and of course our commissioners. We know the best work is produced when everyone believes in what they are doing and enjoy doing it. We actively seek diverse talent both on and off screen and look to invest in training and development for our employees wherever we can.
