Drummer Boy Soundtrack Overview
The album is titled Drummer Boy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and runs 13 tracks. Joel and Luke Smallbone wrote all of the original music, and the movie’s cast does the singing.
The mix is broader than a typical film album. It pairs new cinematic anthems about two brothers on opposite sides of the Revolutionary War with reimagined Christmas classics.
It also includes the duo’s own signature version of the title song. They have recorded “Little Drummer Boy” for years, including on their 2013 EP Into the Silent Night.

Who Composed Drummer Boy Soundtrack?

Joel David Smallbone does triple duty on this project: songwriter, lead actor and co-director. He has also acted in Priceless and Unsung Hero, the latter of which he directed.
Luke Smallbone is Joel’s younger brother and the other half of the band. He co-wrote the film’s original music alongside Joel.
