Colchester United fans have unveiled a new drum after a successful fundraising campaign. The initiative, led by U's fan Steve Duckling, raised £600 in just two weeks for the bespoke drum. As of the final 2025 table, Colchester United finished 12th in League Two, with 66 points from 46 games, and recent form of WLLWW. ## What happened? The new drum features six images closely associated with the U's, including photos of head coach Danny Cowley and assistant Nicky Cowley. The drum was officially revealed at the club's Open Day, with Colchester boss Danny Cowley invited to take centre stage for the unveiling alongside four U's players and Eddie the Eagle.
Why it matters for Colchester The drum carries deeper meaning beyond its role in generating noise inside stadiums, as it helps bridge the gap between different ages in the fanbase.
With the new drum, Colchester United aims to find a fast rhythm both on and off the pitch this season.
What comes next? The surplus funds from the campaign have been passed on to the Blue White Army supporters' group, who will use the cash to further improve the matchday experience through flags, banners, and displays.
Adam Law, a familiar figure among the club's supporters, will continue as the main drummer. As the new season approaches, Colchester United is looking to build on their recent form, having won their last two games, including a 4-1 win over Cheltenham on 2026-05-02.
