Best bit of drumming on a song

[chickens]

It is, without a doubt, this:

Hendrix - Monterey Killing Floor

The joyous energy of it is unmatched.

 

[Vicar!]

Spirit of Radio - Rush - Neal Peart

 

[gazingdown]

Always liked the drumming in many Blind Mr Jones tracks...



And Ride too....

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

When the Levee Breaks - John Henry Bonham
Led Zeppelin

I often get mesmerised by drummers - I once saw David Narcizo of Throwing Muses doing bass drum with his right foot, hi-hat with his left, and he was drumming with a stick in one hand and a tambourine in the other that he was managing to shake whilst also hitting drums and cymbals with it. And backing vocals. That's about nine things at once!

 

[METALMICKY]

If you are into your drumming this guy has been a bit of a YouTube sensation.



Personally I've got a little tired of the obsession with double bass drum like it's some sort of Olympic sport where all that matters is speed and complexity.

 

[DFL JCL]

Danny Carey from tool on Pneuma

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

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

I'd completely forgotten Hatfield & the North - thanks for jogging my memory!

 

[Mellotron]

As a kid sitting infront of my parents record player, Stewart Copeland's playing on Message In a Bottle was the one for me.

Unbelievable level of groove and feel, and those 16ths on the hi hats near the end, that blew me away as a chiddler.

Anything by Ringo, the most underrated musician in history - except by top drummers. Unmatched taste & feel & close to impossible to copy his groove. He made every single song 'move' better

 

[WATFORD zero]

This is 'the best'

I once went to a William E Cobham Jr drum clinic as a teenager and he went through his daily fitness routine in order to play stuff like that. It's why I stuck to Blues

 

[METALMICKY]

Today's little known drum fact. Al Murray ' The Pub Landlord ' is a half decent drummer and is also a director of The British Drum Company who amongst others supply the kit that Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain uses.

If you've got the time this interview is worth a listen

 

[boik]

Jaki Liebezeit always sounds simple, but listen to that kick drum - that's where the groove is.

 

[Si Gull]

Always liked the drumming in many Blind Mr Jones tracks...



And Ride too....

Loz Colbert is a superb drummer, phenomenal energy, especially live. Seagull is one of my all time favourites, of any band.

A very versatile drummer as well considering how many genres the Beatles performed

 

[Iron Butterfly]

run.

That was us

 

[Iron Butterfly]

I wasn't but I would probably have joined in if I heard it!

At least 3 of us sang it at corners for several tears

 

[ozzygull]

Phil Collins and Bill Bruford, the only tour Bill joined Genesis live before Chester Thompson became their regular tour drummer

​

 

[stewart12]

What about the stunning drumming by the "Crystal Palace Balaclava clad ultras" for their song "woah woah woah woah woah"

 

[Worried Man Blues]

That was us

Brilliant, I was always just along leaning on the back fence, great days, well we were hairy then!!
