On That Note: Bang on the Drum

[Cydar]

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Just because of the title

Video draws even more attention to the drums.





Apt title for a song heavy on percussion.

As usual Mean Dean (and others) beat me with many that come to mind but the first drum-featuring solo that hooked me was

 

[Turn2]

Okay...




...and, just wait for it...

 

[Knownothing]

Tom Sawyer is the greatest air drum song ever

 

[Turn2]

Need Ginger Baker in here somewhere.

 

[cyclones500]

Using the live version, drum riff is a little punchier than studio take.

Yes was always anchored by a great drummer, Bill Bruford or Alan White.

Jeff Sipe.

Santana (1969) had lots of drums, congos and bongos. Two songs from that album tossed together live here plus a classic Carlos riff.

 

[HFCS]

Posting this both because it's among my favorite drums in a song and I just love the look of joy on this kid's face as she rocks it.

Phil Rudd start at the 3:30 mark.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

You could pretty much add any metal music in this. There is so much incredible drum work in metal

Gloria Morti


Parkway Drive


Immortal

The drum solo to end all drum solos.........

We listened to this endlessly in high school. No party was complete without it.

I have always thought Neil Peart was the best rock drummer I ever heard. I also thought Lee Kerslake of Uriah Heep was very underrated. Keith Moon had a style all his own, and John Bonham was like Peart - he was never content to just bang out a cadence, he was continuously riffing.

Not a solo, but one of the best fills ever at the 2:35 mark:

[VeloClone]

I feel like rush should be in here

As an added bonus:

Drum kit that is every percussionist's wet dream.
