The Little Drummer Boy

This is my instrumental guitar rock cover of “The Little Drummer Boy”. You will likely note the debt owed to “Wipe Out”. Originally titled “Carol of the Drum”, the song was written in 1941 by American classical music composer and teacher Katherine Kennicott Davis. First recorded in 1951 by the Trapp Family Singers, the song was further popularized by a 1958 recording by the Harry Simeone Chorale; the Simeone version was re-released successfully for several years and the song has been recorded many times since.
