Day 10: A song you like the drums on
10+2=12
Well I know I needed a little extra energy this spring forward Sundays. L7 always brings the heat.

Day 10: A song you like the drums on
Saw this live and couldn't stop looking at the drummer...love the drums on this

 

[UnquietDreams]

Oh boy, I'll happily forgo the points today to share my most favorite drum heavy song ever!

Power Metal has always had special place in my heart; the bombastic lyrics, the fantasy, the melodic guitars, the notes high enough to crack glass, and most importantly the humour! It never ever takes itself seriously!

Edguy is a band front lined by Tobias Sammet, a lyrical genius who's gone on to create some of the most epic superbands the metal world has ever seen. I can't express my love for this man enough.

Take this verse, from the song Save Us Now. A song about an Alien Drum Bunny (A.D.B) crash landing on earth and being experimented on by humans, until he gets a hold of his secret weapon and just drum-solos his way to freedom!

He takes his magic carrot,
a bang and drums appear!
He starts to play like thunder,
mankind flee to save your hearing!

It's so fucking ludicrous! I love the imagery with all my heart.

Edguy - Save Us Now
This is Alien Drum Bunny's revenge!! Resistance is futile!!

Here’s the original by Otis Redding

Day 10: a song you like the drums on:

Well, I could pick damn near any Beatles song because Ringo did exactly what was needed for each song, but j have to pick one, so I’ll go with Ticket to Ride just because it’s got such an unusual drumming pattern

Day 10: A song you like the drums on

Alright, I'm going for something a little different today. This prompt made me IMMEDIATELY think of this video of Chad Smith (RHCP) playing a blind drum track to The Kill by Thirty Seconds To Mars. There are other songs out there that I absolutely adore the drums in (*coughs* Dire Straits anything *cough*) but watching this for the first time took my breath away.

This is pure talent.

Alright, yeah, that was incredible. He stumbled for just a moment at the bridge around 3:40 but caught himself after just, what, 3 beats?

But, fuck, I don't like seeing Chad aging. Chili Peppers have always been kids in my head

 

[aussiegeekygal]

?

Instead of drumsticks. Brushes

And he NAILED the transitions.
What a prodigy.
Seriously talented. I'm envious.

Day 10: A song you like the drums on
First thing that came to mind for this prompt was Phil Collins. But his drumming was discussed the other day so I decided to go in a different direction.

Immediately this simple drum refrain popped into my head. “Bum, bum-bum”

You know when just the instruments or the melody of a song pops into your head but no lyrics? No convenient googling. I had to hunt.
I knew it was pop-punk. An acoustic track. It took me a minute and checking through the track lists of a couple albums I used to be obsessed with before I found it. Cartel! The Chroma album was a favorite when it came out. And I’ve always had a soft spot for the acoustic tracks.

The drums aren’t complex here. They aren’t technical. It’s probably a very boring song for the drummer to play. But they hit me in just the right spot. Especially live. Plus, I love to belt this song in the car.

Cartel - The Minstrel’s Prayer

Azul already posted my first choice but Keith Moon is a close second to Phil Collins

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Day 10
My Doorbell - The White Stripes
+1 (=12)

Yeah I know Meg isn't the greatest drummer who ever lived or anything but I've always liked the bouncy rhythm of this song

Day 10: A song you like the drums on

Oh, Steve Gadd's solo. This is the stuff of legends. He did it on the second time through, completely improvised. He was such an amazingly visual drummer that the other session players messed up because they were watching him and had to re-record. Gadd was one of the most incredible session players to pick up an instrument.

Brilliant stuff, thank you!

As a percussionist, I love these sort of simple, iconic, almost bombastic parts. Polyrhythms are fun, but honestly, I picked up the drums as a kid because of these loud, fun songs. Boom! Boom boom! Marching snare breaks. Fun! It should be fun.

Day 10: A song you like the drummer on

The Carpenters - Close to You - Karen Carpenter

I love Karen Carpenter. Her voice is so soothing. Absolutely one of my favorites. Oh, and guess what? She could play the drums like nobody's business.

+1 if the artist is a woman

Total so far: 18

I love that, though it took far to long, The Carpenters are getting their due for how absolutely frightening their level of musical ability was. Karen was a great drummer, and had one of the clearest, sweetest, most powerful contraltos in popular music. And Richard was brilliant as a producer, pianist, keyboardist, arranger, and songwriter. He also sang beautiful harmony with his sister. They wanted to do more, musically, but were pigeonholed at a time when the labels had all of the power, and calm, AOR, square music made money.
