Here Come the Drums is the second studio album by Australian band Rogue Traders, released in Australia on 23 October 2005 by Columbia Records. The album features the Rogue Traders with the then-new vocalist Natalie Bassingthwaighte and songs primarily in the genre of dance-pop, written by Jamie Appleby, Steven Davis and Melinda Appleby. Here Come the Drums debuted in the top ten on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.

Four singles were released from the album, all of which peaked within the top 20. "Voodoo Child", the most successful song from the album peaked in the top ten in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Other singles include "Way to Go!", "Watching You", and "We're Coming Home". "In Love Again" was later released exclusively as a radio single. The commercial success of the album led to the We're Coming Home National Tour in 2006 and nominations for seven ARIA Music Awards. The album's title comes from a line in "Voodoo Child".
