Ezra Koenig Shares ‘Little Drummer Boy’ Cover

Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig has shared rehearsal footage of a cover of “Little Drummer Boy” featuring Danielle and Este Haim.

“A late night jam session in honor of the prince of peace. “Little Drummer Boy” is a top 3 Christmas song imho. Imagine that you come to see the messiah and he’s been given all sorts of regal gifts like frankincense and myrrh. All you have to give is…a drum solo. You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime. You wail on the snare for a solid 20 minutes. Paradiddles upon paradiddles. You collapse in exhaustion. Did he like it? It’s unclear…until he smiles. You killed it, drummer boy,” he captioned the video shared on Instagram.

“The Little Drummer Boy” was written by Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941.

Vampire Weekend released their last album, Modern Vampires of the City, in 2013. Their much-anticipated fourth album will arrive in 2019.
