Bang The Drum Ep is a EP by Australian band INXS. It's an internet-only download that's exclusive to iTunes only.

It was released on August 17th 2004 through record label Island Def Jam, eight years after Michael Hutchence's untimely death. The EP consists of 4 tracks altogether, an unreleased song called "Bang The Drum", a bonus track on the limited edition Elegantly Wasted album that was exclusive to Japan and Australia only called "Let It Ride", the other two are live performances of the song Elegantly Wasted and Don't Change, both performed in Aspen, in 1997.

The songs were made in the Elegantly Wasted era but the two new songs didn't make the final cut of the album in the end (with exception of Let It Ride, as it was a bonus track on the limited edition of the album).
