Drummers out

The drummer can be released in different ways.
Bowled  : The thrower has managed to destroy the wicket (to knock down at least one of the witnesses) of the drummer. It does not matter if it's the bullet that has destroyed the wicket or the drummer himself, wanting to protect his wicket.
Caught  : if one of the hunters (field players) or the pitcher intercepts the ball hit by the batter, before it hits the ground.
Stumped  : if the keeper of the wicket (located behind it) destroys the wicket with the ball, while the batter has crossed the line to play the ball.
Run out  : A hunter (field player) destroys the wicket with the ball while both drummers complete their runs . This is the closest to the destroyed box that is declared out of play (except of course if it is inside the line).
Leg before wicket or LBW  : if the drummer obstructs the destruction of the wicket with his body (not necessarily the legs). It does not matter whether the obstruction is voluntary or not. It is also necessary that the referee decides that, without this obstruction, the ball would have destroyed the wicket.

Above are the most frequent cases of drummer output. Nevertheless, other rarer cases may occur.
