To the Beat of a Different Drum is a double album by jazz musician John Coltrane released posthumously in 1978. It is a compilation of recordings in which Roy Haynes replaced Coltrane's regular drummer Elvin Jones.

"Impressions", "I Want To Talk About You" and "My Favorite Things" were recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival in July 1963. "After The Rain" and "Dear Old Stockholm" are studio recordings from April 1963. "After The Crescent", "One Down, One Up" and "Dear Lord" are studio recordings from May 1965.

The tracks were later reissued on CD by GRP Records: the live recordings on the Newport '63 album and the studio recordings under the title Dear Old Stockholm in 1993. The 1963 Newport tracks were also reissued in 2007 on the compilation My Favorite Things: Coltrane at Newport.
