I am not certain what Regiment you have in mind so I point you to this website about Austrian Troops.
I am not sure if the Details are in there - to see the Pictures you have to click on the blue Dots on the left

The Coburg regiment's drummer wore a black coat with yellow or gold decorations on the coat. In this case, black was the regiments facing colour, and the regimental uniform was grey with black cuffs.
