Distant Drummer is a studio album by American hip hop producer Omid.

[1] It draws inspiration from the music of Sun Ra, as well as a science fiction book Hyperion.

[3] Writing for XLR8R, DJ Anna said: "While the songs don't always achieve the depth or scope of, dare I say, a DJ Shadow piece, they do exist as lovely and moving soundscapes, and Omid proves himself to be a technically awesome electronic composer.

[9] Fritz the Cat of Vice included it on the "Top Nine" list in December 2003.

[10] All tracks are written by Omid Walizadeh, except "Ways of the World" by Omid Walizadeh, Nikko, and XololanxinxoCredits adapted from liner notes.
