So, if I understand the above correctly, this estimate puts the number of US drummers at 1 million. This represents 1.4% of the total US musicians. If we apply the same percentage to the world figure of 237,637,496 musicians, we get approximately 3,326,924 drummers in the world. Your mileage may vary.USA Market Size
According to an older US Census report, approximately 30% of all adults 15+ are amateur musicians. The CIA World Fact Book estimates the July 2006 population size of this demographic is 237,637,496. That’s a projected 71.3 million adults. In this group, according to various industry reports, are 25 million guitarists, 25 million installed pianos, 10 million bass players, 1 million drummers, and perhaps as many as 3,000,000 adults recording their music with specialized software called sequencers (more on those in a later article).

I don't think you can use the USA or Canada for that matter as a sample and then average it out. I can't see there being 1 drummer per 100 in places like Rowanda, ethiopia etc.
It is very difficult to come up with a number worldwide. I doubt it is even 1/1000 in third world countries, if not 1/10,000.

I guess you mean the conventional drum SET players. Trust me there would be more drummers per square yard in Rwanda or Ethiopia, or the rest of the third world than in the all of the US.
Drumming is the most basic form of human expression. Every culture on earth has some guys with a bunch of drums, just banging away and blowing everyone's hearts & minds.
at some point everyone has tapped their foot, hand or finger to a beat or song.

In your world, there is only 1 drummer: You. Understanding this is very important
