the drums are my favorite instrument, I could listen to great drumming all day long.

What are some of your favorite tunes that really showcase the drummer

from the 7 minute drum solos to just a standard 4 minute song with great drumming all will fit here.

As some of you may know my favorite band has been the Who for as long as I can remember, mostly because of this guy.

The one the only Kieth Moon.

3 great choices Swede

It seems a little strange to bring up a Jimi Hendrix song that's featuring drums, but I love Mitch Mitchell in this one.

This one is so great, from the 60's. The very cool Miss Peggy Lee accompanied by just base and drums. And the drummer Jack Sperling lays down his sticks and plays his instrument with his hands and fingers Pay attention to his craft in this video

YouTube - Peggy Lee - Fever!



Another where the "rhythm section," base and drums get to feature in the tune. Drum solo begins at 4:00 but is really present and driving the whole song.

YouTube - Harry Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire



I always hear the drums in this Steve Miller Band tune. They're rather muddy and buried in the mix and I'd love to hear a new remix, but they still jump out at me. In the cycle of the tune I love the way they "turn the corner" between parts. I hope someone can understand what I'm saying

YouTube - Steve Miller Band - Dime A Dance Romance

What do you especially like about these tunes? I was thinking that this thread would just become yet another mindless posting of YouTube links

For the above tunes and these, they have a very hard hitting (dominate) beat and the drum is showcased in these songs I post. I also love the ticking noise you hear when they hit the bass/kicker! You can hear it ticking away as the song is played.

YouTube - Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
