That's a question that is likely impossible to answer, for several reasons:
1) In 1504, "drummer" wasn't a profession. In Europe and Asia, there were musicians, and those musicians sometimes played percussion instruments. But there were no "drummers."
2) Even if there were drummers, there was no such thing as a prevailing wage anywhere in the world.
3) As the question completely fails to specify a locale, it becomes even more impossible to answer. The cost to hire a musician in France could be completely different than the cost to hire a musician in Japan.

Hence the curved beaters.
