The author of numerous songs in a variety of styles, Drach is noted in particular for his original psalms in the Ukrainian historical folk style.

His first instrument was the violin. He went on to become a prize-winning singer-songwriter at numerous festivals, in particular the 1989 Chervona Ruta Festival. Drach's musical styles include ballads, traditional folk songs, folk rock, folk jazz, and folk avant-garde. Apart from the violin, he also plays guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, kobza, bandura, husli, and lira. Several of his songs have been adapted for lute or torban by Roman Turovsky.
