The members are Scott Hoying (baritone lead/harmony), Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo-soprano lead/harmony), Mitch Grassi (counter-tenor lead/harmony), Kevin Olusola (tenor/ percussion), and Matt Sallee (bass). Avi Kaplan was formerly a member of the group; he was replaced by Sallee in 2017. Their work, mostly in, but not limited to, the pop music style, consists of covers of pre-existing songs and some original material, sometimes in the form of medleys. Their music is defined by their own arrangement style, a strong presence of low bass vocals, and a diverse range of vocal percussion.

Pentatonix formed in 2011 and came to prominence the same year by winning the third season of "The Sing-Off" on NBC, their victory earning them $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony. Their debut EP "PTX, Volume 1" was released in 2012, followed by "PTXmas" the same year, with their third release "PTX, Vol. II", debuting at number 1 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2013. 2014 saw the release of "PTX, Vol. III", and their two first full-length albums "PTX, Vols. 1 & 2" (a compilation of Vol. 1 and Vol. II) and "That's Christmas to Me". Their second holiday release, That's Christmas to Me, with the album certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), platinum on December 24, 2014, and double platinum on February 11, 2016, becoming the highest-charting holiday album by a group since 1962, and the fourth-best-selling album in the United States in 2014. The following year, Pentatonix released their album, their first consisting mostly of original material, which debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart for the first time in their career, followed by a third Christmas album, A Pentatonix Christmas, in 2016, and a new EP, PTX, Vol. IV – Classics, the following year. In May 2017, Kaplan announced that he would leave Pentatonix due to his inability to keep up with the touring demands of the group; he left after the completion of the tour in September, and was replaced by Matt Sallee the following month.

Pentatonix has won three Grammy Awards: they were the first a cappella act to win Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella, doing so in 2015 and 2016, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2017.

Pentatonix started their popular YouTube channel back in 2012 to promote themselves after the Sing-Off (Season 3, 2011) when they were dropped by their record label, according to a recent November 2014 interview. They also made effective use of social media to interact with their fan base. They have eclipsed almost 15 million subscribers and more than 2.7 billion cumulative views. Their music video for "Daft Punk" recently surpassed 273 million views.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pentatonix's "Little Drummer Boy" recount the story of a poor boy who meets three wise men on their way to see the newborn King. The boy is unsure of what gift to offer the King since he has nothing of material value, but he knows how to play the drum. He offers to play for the King, and Mary nods her approval. As he plays his drum, the ox and the lamb keep time, and the Boy plays the best he can for the newborn King, who smiles back at him.

The song is about the power of giving and the recognition that we can all use what we have to offer the world. It showcases the importance of humility in giving and reminds us that even if we don't have material possessions, we can still share our talents and gifts with others. The drum represents the boy's creative expression and willingness to share it with the world, and his generosity is ultimately rewarded with the King's smile.

This is the very first video I've seen from them. This is where it all started.

My brother once showed me this when I was already in bed a long time ago. He just told me "look at this group, they don't use instruments, everything you hear is made by their voices. It's incredible."
He was right, what a blessing

I love this song for two reasons. My moderately severe autistic son LOVES this song, he always tries to mimic the clapping and foot stomping scene and you should see how excited he gets, how big his smile becomes when I play this song for him. The second reason why I love this song is because they are incredible at what they do, the song is catchy, they have amazing voices, and this version of Little Drummer Boy is by far my most favorite ^_^
