Thanks for this ~ it's so nice. I heard these guys on the radio in the car today ~ singing "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" ... so simply done, and utterly beautiful ... Is there a chance you could put it up?
My Mom started calling me "The Little Drummer Boy" at Christmas during my first semester at Shenandoah as a music therapy major. I'd give the world to hear her call me that just one more time. This song.this version is sacred to me.
@Ixoye4Me You are correct, it is a tribute to the born Savior and not a tribute to "the drummer boy" (Which I think is or should be a picture of us-all. Praise, the Most High God (One and Only God).
The "little drummer boy", is a fictional character invented for a TV kids program in the seventies. He is a MYTH.
Jesus, lives, He reigns, He is and was and always will be.
I detest this song when it's sung in a church or by a "Christian" band. It says, to me, that they don't really believe in Christ at all. He's just another "feelgood story".
@Gladiamdammit get a life it is posers like you who give the whole faith a bad image but looking at your screen name you are probably a non christian just trying to stir up trouble so "Get thee behind me satan"
Beautiful song and really nice arrangement... but... throughout the whole video, being a song called, "Little DRUMMER Boy"... they never showed the drummer!!!!!! Huh?? What's with that???
PLEASE DONT READ THIS YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST FRIDAY POSSIBLE YOU WILL GET KISSED BY THE LOVE OF UR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF UR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW YOU STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS COMMENT TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6. AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. THIS ACTUALLY
It's amazing to see the passion that these men have for worshiping God. God give me passion like they have so that I can inspire people to love You more, too.
@MrClover17 That is true, although I guess arguably its wrong to celebrate it when we do, due to the fact jesus was born in the spring, although with that thought in mind I dont think it matters when its celebrated so long as it is.
I also used to unknowingly judge people a lot when I was a "know-it-all" Christian, then one day I realized that they weren't the problem. It was I :D
Save your judgemental ideas for those who also want to be judged. They don't belong here.
Warning ....Jars of clay are after personal recognition and rather side with public opinion over biblical truth...warning !!!!! " these are terrible ideas" their opinion to Pat Robertson comments on the haiti earthquake.....
Just like i thought all these so called gospel christian actors are not after GODS Glory but themselves.
Darlene Zcheck from Hillsong WORKS Silent Night, Shadasy ROCKS Deck the Halls, and this is the ONLY version of Little Drummer Boy I like. And theh ROCK this version. I like the melody and chord progression in all those versions.
i saw their last show on this tour in harrisburg, and leelands drummer was out there on snare with jars drummer, it was jaw dropping, especially the end
i just being honest when i heard this music i feel the presence of god lol i heard this since i was a kid but when i stop & try to listen the lyrics IT MAKE SENSE 2ME! he dont have anything to give but he play drum for a gift! AMEN!
Wow, the Lord truly blessed me with this song. I didnt expect the impact from the heart of your gift "Drummer Boy"! Thankyou so much for blessing me , and while my son witnessed this as well....Amen!
This is my favorite Christmas song..it captures how I view my relationship with the king.
"I have no gifts to bring that's fit to give a king."
"Shall I play for you on my drum?"
"I'll play my best for him"
And then the line that always brings me to tears
" then he smiled at me !"
Thats the song that reminds me that even though Im a sinner (no gifts to give that would fit a king) I will use whatever skill he has given me to "play" my best for him and then I will get a SMILE from the king!
The comment "hope ur faith in God improves" is just so obtuse. They are and will be Christians. They are Christians who are detaching themselves from the "religious right" and I say "amen!" People are Christians but are peaceably revolutionizing against Jim Dobson.
If that means faith in God then WOW. People on the right need to really improve faith.
My heart melts! :) This is the most beautiful song sung by the most beautiful band ever!!!!!
Oh, and like hoth2112 - I will be "FRONT & CENTER" but, at the show on December 19 in Lewiston, Maine!! If that's just a taste of what to expect at the Christmas Pageant...I am sooooooo excited!!!!!!
I dont get why Stupid Justin Beiber Had to copy an amazing song like this! He needs to write his own songs!!!!

@Gladiamdammit: Everyone knows that he is a fictional character. You don't tell something new.
But the song represents, what Jesus taught. And that's what matters, not?
Who are you to judge over other people and say they're no real Christs?
