seven nation's army-the white stripes
i am the resurrection-the stone roses

[Tyler_Durden_208]

Anything from Spineshank... Nothingface's drummer does some good drum tracks... And of course, Lars Ulrich of Metallica fame, is the one of the best drummers ever... Pantera's got some pretty heavy drum tracks...

[Annie Hall]

The Best of What's Around by Dave Matthews Band...but...really, any DMB song will do. That drummer is...a God.

[Corporal_Hicks]

Any Cryptopsy song has excellent drumming, Flo Mounier is easily my favorite. Though if I had to recommend one of their songs for its drum track, it would be Slit your Guts.

Other great drum songs are:
Emperor- I am the Black Wizards
Dissection- Thorns of Crimson Death
Fear Factory- Pisschrist, Demanufacture
Slayer- Angel of Death, War Ensemble
Sepultura- Territory, Dead Embryonic Cells.

[POLYDISTORTION]

- "Money For Nothing" - Dire Straits
- "Spirit Of The Radio" - RUSH
- "Hot For Teacher" - Van Halen
- "Primal Scream" - Motley Crue
- "Love Removal Machine" - The Cult

Neil Peart is THE best drummer, period.

Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick is also awesome.

[jmcpher_007]

The Smashing Pumpkins - Geek U.S.A.

Jimmy Chamberlin is incredible in my opinion.

Danny Carey is a God behind drums.

Metallica is a pretty safe bet, but not the stuff off St. Anger....the drums sound like ass.

[AFIFan]

Chop Suey or Toxicity by System of a Down...

Tourniquet - Trivializing the Momentous


this thread made me just play that Mp3... it's amazing:eek:

[hail]

these are my picks:

Gin Blossoms- 'kelli richards'
Gin Blossoms- 'till i hear it from you'
Jimmy Eat World- 'lucky denver mint'

[retardinAz]

Actually, Lars Ulrich kinda sucks at the drums. And I'm a fan of older Metallica, Lars' playing has always been subpar when compared to the talents of the other members. He's always done "just enough" to make it not sound like ass. Truly one of the most overrated drummers of all time.


My personal faves are:

John Bonham, Led Zeppelin

Keith Moon, The Who

Mike Portney, Dream Theatre

Neil Peart, Rush

Dave Grohl, Nirvana/Queens of the Stone Age(he did his best work with QOTSA)/Tenacious D

Spag, Mudvayne (their bassist and drummer are both incredible)

Joey Jordison, Slipknot (a guilty pleasure of mine)

Taylor Hawkes(sp?), Foo Fighters

Meg White, The White Stripes :D

[SkyNet]

Metallica- One

PG 99- Humans With Forked Shaped Tongues

Rammstein- Du Hast

[Rated R]

YESSSSSSS! Primus is fantastic in every aspect of their musicianship, but it is occasionally overshadowed by Les's bass. But the drums are so good not to be noticed, especially here.


Plus: My Hero and Hey Johnny Park! by Foo Fighters have excellent drumming.

Songs For The Deaf - QOTSA

Any Nirvana album


Is there a pattern? Dave Grohl = best drummer ever

I agree with that. Also "Toxicity" by System Of A Down is one that comes to mind. But notch is right, pick a Tool song.

[SimplePlanGurl8]

The Foo Fighters- My Hero most of all the Foo Fighters songs have great drumming.
Anything by AFI
Queens of the Stone Age- Noone Knows
Anything by Nirvana

[Psychocandy]

Arc Lite by Loop

One of the most propulsive back beats i've ever heard. A brilliant song. I need to find a copy of A Gilded Eternity, the album upon which this track resides, on CD. I still have an old tape of it and it's really not holding up very well.
