Drumbeat was a BBC television series that aired every Saturday from 4 April to 29 August 1959.

It was the BBC's answer and rival to ITV's TV series Oh Boy!, though as the latter finished on 30 May 1959, for most of its run Drumbeat had no comparable competition.

Among its guest stars were Petula Clark, the Lana Sisters (including Dusty Springfield), Billy Fury, Dickie Valentine, Paul Anka, Cliff Richard and Anthony Newley.

The show had a number of resident bands and singers: Emile Ford, Bob Miller and the Millermen, the John Barry Seven, Vince Eager, Sylvia Sands and Adam Faith.

Danny Williams, the Raindrops (featuring Jackie Lee), the Kingpins, and Roy Young also appeared regularly and Trevor Peacock was the compere for 16 of the 22 episodes.
