Story Behind The Song
Jonathan Sherrill's version of "Little Drummer Boy" reimagines the timeless Christmas carol as a high-energy rock anthem. Rather than a hushed, traditional arrangement, this track explodes with driving guitars, thunderous drums, and raw vocal power, turning the familiar holiday song into something bold and electrifying.
It keeps the recognizable melody and Christmas spirit intact but overlays it with rock grit, creating a track that feels just as fitting on a holiday playlist as it would blasting in a live venue. It's Christmas music with an edge -- a modern, rebellious twist for those who want festive songs with attitude.

Lyrics
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
