The drum major is the leader of a marching band whether in practice or competing. In addition the drum major will lead the rest of the band in following the director's orders, assists in helping the teacher, and acts as the head of the band when accepting awards in ceremonies.

A suspended drum is held up by something called a "suspender" (:not a suspender that country folk wear;) that is placed ontop of the lugs on the side of the drum shell (they're chrome colored).

What are the differences between drumming with traditional grip and matched grip?

The main difference between drumming with traditional grip and matched grip is how the drumsticks are held. In traditional grip, one stick is held with an underhand grip while the other stick is held with an overhand grip. In matched grip, both sticks are held with a similar grip, either both overhand or both underhand. Traditional grip is often used in marching band and jazz drumming, while matched grip is more common in rock and pop drumming.
