He was the oldest son of the banker Andrew Drummond (1688–1769), of Charing Cross in London and Stanmore in Middlesex. His mother Isabella was the daughter of Alexander Strachan, a London-Scottish merchant. He was a cousin of Henry Drummond.[2] Drummond was educated at Westminster School, and joined his father's Drummonds Bank.
He was married to Charlotte, daughter of Lord William Beauclerk. Their children included Jane Diana, Charlotte, John and George (see painting).
He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Thetford from 1768 until his death in 1774.[2]
