A Different Drum

A Different Drum was an independent record label and online store based in the US state of Utah, founded in 1991, specializing in synthpop and related genres. The label has released hundreds of albums, singles, and compilations, and was the biggest synthpop label in the U.S. The label is regularly credited with helping to keep the Synthpop genre progressing during in the grunge rock mid-1990s and into the early 2000s, particularly supporting American Synthpop Groups (Cosmicity, The Echoing Green, B! Machine and others) in their early years.

The label was also a big supporter of Synthpop bands that had Billboard chart hits during the 1980s but found themselves in need of a supportive label in the late 1990s, such as Alphaville (band), and Real Life (band), putting out releases for both bands during this time.

A selection of songs from the label's artists have been featured on various versions of Konami's Dance Dance Revolution series, including the arcade version of Dance Dance Revolution X.

Different Drum

"Different Drum" is a song written by Mike Nesmith in 1965 (also copyrighted that year) and originally recorded by the northern bluegrass band the Greenbriar Boys and included on their 1966 album, Better Late than Never!. The song first became popular in 1967 when recorded by the Stone Poneys featuring Linda Ronstadt, who took their version of "Different Drum" to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1972, Nesmith recorded his own version of his song. "Different Drum" has since been covered by other artists over the years.

Mike Nesmith version

The song reached a wider audience when Mike Nesmith rushed through a version of it in a comedy bit while pretending to be Billy Roy Hodstetter, in the Monkees television show episode "Too Many Girls", which aired in December 1966. Davy Jones mentions this during the commentary track on some DVDs of this episode.

The song tells of a pair of lovers, one of whom wants to settle down, while the other wants to retain a sense of freedom and independence. Its narrator is the lover who wants to remain free, telling the other that they "will both live a lot longer" if they part ways now.
