Whilst the Royal Marines have no pipes, their drums are renowned and they have made many recordings.How about YouTube? Oh and whilst you are at it, the "last post" on their sterling silver bugles is spine tingling.
I have just looked------- lots to see and hear. Just type in Royal Marine band on You Tube. Better still, try "the Royal Marine Corps of Drums"

I did want to congratulate you on the aquisition of such a beautiful piece of history, though. That snare is a real gem- even the paint still looks good! 
Thank you, sir! Regards...

Excellent suggestions, great video. Additionally, the folks over at Bobdunsire suggested tracking down a CD of the 78th Highlander at Halifax Citadel, whose band is dedicated, inter alia, to preserving military music of a bygone era, including the rope tension drum. Searching for "78th Highlander" on Youtube can also bring up their competition pipe band [which has won the Canadian championships in years gone by], but other videos are of their "historical" band. Wonderful stuff. Thanks again for the great idea. Best regards, BYU
