drumbeaters
Loud, persistent supporters
Drumbeaters are enthusiastic advocates or promoters of a cause, person, or idea.
The term evokes someone literally beating a drum to rally attention or support: The senator's drumbeaters were out in force before the vote.
It often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting zealotry or excessive promotion rather than measured advocacy.
