What does it mean to be drummed out of a biker club? What does it mean to be considered a turncoat?

Question

I saw this in an article about that seattle police officer who shot a h***s angel at the sturgis rally on August tenth this month. I was just wondering what these slang terms meant.

Answer 1

drummed out just means the membership voted you out.

turncoat means you turned your back on the club for another club do you have a link I would like to read the story

Answer 2

Answer 3

Other articles say the shooter was a Seattle cop who has been reprimanded in the past, and that he bit off more than he could handle and resorted to shooting to keep from taking a beating.

Turncoat - it means the skin you show on the outside doesn't match the skin on the inside - traitor. In bikerdom, it means you wear colors and should be 100% loyal to the colors you wear and if you aren't you turned on your own colors and never respected that loyalty to begin with.

Drummed out - forced to leave in disgrace

Funny how the gang showed up and the first thing that happened was the establishment called the police as a result. First shooting in 20 years at the rally. The Iron Pigs wear colors that the h**l's Angels find offensive because they are too closely related to their own legacy and trademark style....
