The band was called "China Drum" until 2000. China Drum was a 1990s UK punk rock band consisting of Adam Lee (lead vocals and drums) and brothers Bill McQueen (guitar) and Dave McQueen (bass). In addition to a number of singles, the trio released one EP (1995's Barrier) and two full-length albums, Goosefair (1996) and Self Made Maniac (1997). During the Self Made Maniac period, they added Jan Alkema as a drummer, allowing Lee to focus on singing. The band later changed their name to The Drum, which many fans had been calling them for years, and released a final album, Diskin, in 2000 before parting ways.
