Depends on what you would call drone. John Cage's String Quartet in Four Parts is some very droney modern classical and it was composed in 1950. You ought to check out Theatre of Eternal Music. One of my favourite drone groups and they're out of the 1960s. They have John Cale in it among others, if you're a fan of drone it's a must listen.
