Well, Ann, I doubt that the kid's drum was a snare drum or timpani.   The kind of drum a kid in Bethlehem would have had back then could have been played softly (and maybe even mimicked the sound of a heartbeat?). Ya never know.

I really do like this version of the Little Drummer Boy / Peace On Earth duet.

But I wish people would use Davis's original title. All you'd have to do is change "poor boy too" to "poor child too," and it could just as easily be a little drummer girl! : D






Of course, if you think it's too saccharine, check out this 'remix':
