"Different Drum" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Michael Nesmith in 1964. This version was recorded by the Stone Poneys who took it to No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 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 his group the Monkees, but the producers of the TV show turned it down, though he did perform a short comic version of the song in one episode.
