Drummer - an employee demonstrating increased labor productivity . This concept originated in the USSR during the years of the first five-year plans .
The word is associated with the expression “shock work”, that is, work with a full effort of forces, focused on exceeding the established norms and terms. The expression “shock brigade ” was also common. The shock movement was an important means of ideological influence. The names of the drummers who achieved the most impressive results were widely used as role models (miner Alexey Stakhanov , steam engine driver Petr Krivonos , tractor driver Pasha Angelina , steelmaker Makar Mazai and many others), they received the highest government awards, they were put forward to elected authorities and etc.
By the 1970s and 1980s, shock-building in the USSR to a large extent turned into a formality that did not resemble the enthusiasm of the first five-year plans and post-war construction.
The terminology is currently used in the PRC and DPRK .
Also, in the school environment, percussionists call those students who study in fours.
