The Little Drummer Boy

This song was recorded an an extremely high volume level in order to create the drum effect. It also resulted in a strange delay between the audio and video (of the "drumming", but not of the singing (?)). My favorite version of this song was the one done by Bob Seger. That being said, I've always wanted to do this song a little differently.....

Come they told me
A new born King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King

So to honor Him
When we come.

Little Baby
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring
That's fit to give the King

Shall I play for you
On my drum?

Mary nodded
The ox and lamb kept time
I played my drum for Him
I played my best for Him

Then He smiled at me
Me and my drum.

seriously was ready to quit watching at 3 minutes in (repetitive for my overly sensitive ears) but then it got MUCH better - good job, & Merry Christmas to you too

@lilRadRidinHood that is actually what I don't like about most other versions of this song....to me, it should build up to the drummer boy breaking into a solo (playing his best for him), but most versions just seem to play straight through it and end the song.

I have to say, this is one of the best if not the best version I have heard of this song. Very creative and well put together...5*'s
