Let There Be Drums is an EP from Def Leppard, released on 12 March 2021 through the FP label. It arrived between the self-titled album of 2015 and Diamond Star Halos, which followed in 2022, so it sits in the quieter stretch before the band's twelfth studio record.

For anyone who has followed the band from On Through the Night to Hysteria and beyond, it is a small stop along the way rather than a full statement.
