Best bit of drumming on a song

[T.G]

Pete Thomas on Lipstick Vogue sparse, jerky but brilliant

 

[Norman Potting]

Spirit of Radio - Rush - Neal Peart

 

[Gary Gurr]

Yes, Moony of Won't Get Fooled Again!

 

[brakespear]

I usually pick Ginger Baker's drumming on 'Ease' by PIL as my favourite so I'll go for something different this time:

 

[Kosh]

The whole track, breakbeat before 'they' even knew.

Awesome...

 

[studio150]

Karn Evil 9

 

[AmexRuislip]

or seriously

 

[jakarta]

And then there is Bruce Mitchell on Brushes - he seems to be enjoying himself?

I give you Joe Morello on Dave Brubeck's Take Five in 6/5 time. The master.

 

[Fungus]

I have no idea which one but I imagine it will be something by Keith Moon

Another vote for Moon. Anything by Moon.

 

[Triggaaar]

From a personal point of view, it would be In A Gadda Da Vida, about 6 mins in. Purely because I used to like to try and copy it

I bet you've got the facial expressions nailed.

Dave Grohl drumming on Bob Moulds ( Ex Husker Du) New Day Rising

 

[Norman Potting]

Yes, Moony of Won't Get Fooled Again!

Somehow I have suceeded in giving this a thumbs down - bad me! A big "yes" - the live version on the "Kids Are Alright" is the one. Shall we have a thread for "best scream in Rock" so that I can nominate Roger Daltrey for the same track?

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I have always like the drumming in Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis.

 

[Juan Albion]

The bong, err song, I can't resist finger-drumming on the desk to is this one:

 

[Kosh]

Bobby (four skins) Caldwell.

[Mowgli37]

Maybe not 'the best' but certainly a spine-tingling-ly atmospheric drum solo from Nick Mason.

 

[happypig]

I was thinking of Ginger Baker, Keith Moon or Bonzo, but great drumming can often be simple so I offer Joy Division:

[Dave the OAP]

If you go in YouTube, look up Funky Drummer by James Brown.

The best bit of drumming I have heard.
