"Different Drum" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Michael Nesmith in 1964. It was first recorded by the 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 Monkees TV show turned it down, though he did perform a short comic version of the song in one episode.
The song is best known for the 1967 version credited to the Stone Poneys featuring a vocal performance by up-and-coming 21-year-old singer Linda Ronstadt. It was Ronstadt's first hit single, reaching No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
