Pastels - Different Drum

"Different Drum" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Michael Nesmith (Monkees)in 1964. It was first recorded by the northern bluegrass band The Greenbriar Boys and included on their 1966 album Better Late than Never! Nesmith offered it to the Monkees, but the producers of the TV show, who had wide control over the group's musical output early on, turned him down.
