Best bit of drumming on a song

[Is it PotG?]

Not a big Phil Collins fan but the bit where the drums crash in on "In the Air Tonight" is a bit of a spine tingle inductor!!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Maybe not the best ever but this reminded me i watched this the other week. Performance starts about 4mins in with Copeland saying he plays the song different every single time.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This is 'the best'



This is my favourite (drummer) (today)



It was only when I saw him live that I realized I was in the company of genius. Peel described the ending of one Hatfields track Peel session as the sound of someone throwing a drumkit down the stairs.

And an honourable mention for this wonderment

The best drumming on a song is the 2nd video at about 6:05. But the whole thing is a good watch

 

[Superphil]

Philthy Phil Taylor or latterly Mikkey Dee on Overkill (Motörhead)

 

[zefarelly]

Rhythm sections make bands . . . . both great drummers though

 

[Algernon]

I like watching drum covers.
Marie Voiles:
Aurally good, aesthetically pleasing.

Spirit of Radio - Rush - Neal Peart

I think Neal Peart is the best drummer I’ve seen/ heard. However Keith Moon had it all in terms of charisma, ability and sheer madness.

 

[METALMICKY]

Iron Maiden - Intro on Where Eagles Dare ( Nicko McBrain)
Iron Maiden - Genghis Khan (Clive Burr)
Van Halen - Intro on Hot For Teacher ( Alex Van Halen)
System of a Down - Chop Suey ( John Dolmayan)
Rainbow - Stargazer ( Cozy Powell)

Most underrated drummer - Stewart Copeland.

No contest…probably has been posted before but so many videos show up for me as “unavailable in your location “ .

 

[Peteinblack]

At around 4.30 especially

[fork me]

The segue between Night Flight To Venus and Rasputin on the Boney M album.

I kid you not, it's awesome.

 

[BadFish]

Dreams Burn Down or Cool Your Boots by Ride.

Loz is a phenomenal drummer, my favourite.

Maybe not the best ever but this reminded me i watched this the other week. Performance starts about 4mins in with Copeland saying he plays the song different every single time.

Drumeo is a fantastic YouTube channel with really interesting interviews and features. They often do a challenge where a drummer hears a song for the first time ever without the drums in and they have to come up with their idea for the drums.

Also has my favourite drum interview with II from Sleep Token, a fantastic drummer who cites gospel, RnB and metal drummers as influencing his style.



Having seen Sepultura on Tuesday I also have to say Greyson Nekrutman is a fantastic drummer.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Steve Gadd on "50 ways to leave your lover". Takes popular music drumming to another level.

Still the same answer as post 41, 9 years ago. And his other famous Paul Simon rhythm



Although Brighton's finest is pretty good on this



And even Lewes can knock out a good drummer

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Phil Collins used to get loads of stick for whatever reasons, but fack me that bloke knows how to hit a drum.

Underated drummer, his drumming on Down and out is incredible.

Neil Peart on pretty much every song for me.
