    Remember, the Drummer Boys were Teenagers (14-16); by 17 one was expected to be an Infantryman.
    And Drummers were just as likely to be killed by Musket or cannon fire as a normal soldier.. drummers were usually in line with the soldiers.
    As to Accuracy of the smoothbore Musket of the day, one ( German/French/
    English General is reputed to have said the at 50 Paces, he would Not be hit by a musket ball that had been fired at him from an aimed Musket.
    Cannon ballswere more deadly...they could plow thru several lines of Soldiers, taking one or two out of each rank by actually striking or by the "wind" effect.
    Cannon shot that ricoched along the ground was the worst.
    Of course, Grapeshot or Canister or "Mitraille" was worse...like a 3 0r 4 inch
    Shotgun...devastating.

    Historical Note: Up until the invention of machine guns and magazine fed rifles it would have been suicidal to NOT march in those formations. If you were to have spread out like present day troops on a Napoleonic Era battlefield you would have instantly been ridden down and cut to pieces by cavalry. Remember, all you have to defend yourself is a single shot, muzzleloading, smoothbore musket, which has a fire rate of about 3 rounds a minute (and that's only if you've been well trained) and is only accurate up to around 50-100 yards. The only way to protect yourself from horsemen is by being in large group so you and your fellows can present a wall of bayonet blades at any cavalry who come near you.

      @@snipingflute4346 Yes black powder produces quite a lot of fouling compared to modern smokeless powder. Which makes it more and more difficult to ram the bullet down the barrel as the fouling builds up.
      It used to be common practice to either have hot water standing by to clear the barrels, or if hot water is not available (and on the battlefield it can be difficult to get hot water to the frontline troops) the soldiers would urinate into the barrels in order to clear them of black powder fouling.

      @@KageMinowara I’d also imagine black powder caking itself into the groves of a rifled musket becoming of a growing annoyance to its shooter. For the riflings intended purpose was to provide accurate shots at a further distance compared to the standard smoothbore. That, along with it being seen as a rare and expensive treasured product to find on a battlefield, given the manufacturing costs, could’ve put a lot of pressure onto the soldiers they were entrusted to. Apart from military issue, wasn’t it the rich nobles, aristocrats, and royals being the most able to obtain such a finely crafted variant of rifled-muskets? Especially given the idea of interchangeable parts was relatively new to the world of manufacturing.
