Greatest 60 Drum Songs of Rock & Roll [10-1]

[newfuckingwave]

i say ringo's solo on 'the end' is the greatest rock drum solo ever. incredibly simple? yes. but true art cannot be measured in speed. i find 'moby dick' and 'toad' to be incredibly boring. bonham and baker (who i normally like; his work on white room is superb) are basically just whipping it out and comparing sizes on those tracks. just mindless pounding. it's a novelty, really

[RJIncorporated]

@newfuckingwave Moby Dick is anything but boring...but I agree with Toad being boring

[tomasruckett]

Rush: Tom Sawyer, cmon now

[drummerdo0od]

Ringo Starr: No... just no

[jaqua524]

u have won't get fooled again at 6 or sometihng? i cant even watch this video now lol...wtfa has got to be the only song that left my mouth open because of the drums..especially the isolated track...and end of the song..last 3 minutes..kicks the shit out of anything i've heard...and yes ive heard moby dick...dont say im a fan boy, i actually prefer zeppelin over the who

[Mikespyke]

[jaqua524] what is wtfa?

[jaqua524]

@Mikespyke lol that is me INCORRECTLY abreviating, Wont get fooled again, its suppose to say wgfa lol whoops

[mattbassace]

Lateralus and Ticks and Leeches should be on this list. Probably both in the top 10.

[everett4114]

What bout Bonzo's Montreaux????

[pvrdvd123]

Still amazing to hear what Michael Shrieve does with three drums and a kick.

[mattbassace]

Ticks and leeches wins

[RSKJMJHB]

@Mcezz606 c'mon, its a great song but its not better than these

[Mcezz606]

@Mikespyke Lol. who gives a shit about the beat the entire song is a masterpiece on drums especially the drum fills brah.

[Mikespyke]

@Mcezz606 maybe but your last comment said it rapes everything else on drums, and you wanna say 'who gives a shit about the beat' ?? hmmm

[Mcezz606]

@Mikespyke The beat is good but its not the beat that makes it a great drum song its the entire drum performance : P. And yes that entire drum performance is better then everything on this list.

[callumrocker1]

@Mikespyke In fairness Achilles last stand maybe a simple beat but lets be fair, nobody does a beat quite like Bonzo!

[Mcezz606]

achilles last stand kills every single one of these songs on drums

[Bokee234]

La Villa Strangiato by Rush has the best drum performance (for me).

[alfremetal89]

What the Fuck???!?!?!?!?!?!? Hey guy! U know nothing about drum!!! sorry,man

[strokesday]

this is a good list, but wipeout is really the king of all drumming songs. one, it was one of the first songs with a drum solo, two, its fricken crazy awesome. but other than that, nice list.

[Highland45]

I don't know why people are giving AC/DC so much flack. Just because Phil Rudd doesn't do solos does not make him a bad drummer and it certainly doesn't mean that he doesn't do amazing drum tracks. If there is anyone that can get a boogie going it's Phil.

[stratorenzo]

You have to listen "MY DRUM" by Paul Gilbert, right now!! By the way, good job!!!

[Chris234ify]

You've missed out the hardest drumming Rock 'n' Roll band of all time.......

"MOTORHEAD"

[thetomizzinator]

i found the list was good, but theres one problem...

LA VILLA STANGIATO ISN'T THERE!!!

that song is way better drumwise than most of these other songs

and how come theres so many ACDC songs?theyre really not a good drumming band

[Mikespyke]

@thetomizzinator dude at the time of making this video i just wasnt a huge fan of Rush, I thought the drumming was amazing, neils a got but I thought their music in general was too weird for me. UNfortunately I was pretty narrow minded about them and didnt research their music enough, cuz they kick ass as a band..

And I'd never heard of La Villa Strangiato, but dude thanks for suggesting a great new song to me. I LOVE flamenco stuff, so thanks man, a great new song for my collection

[rocklover4]

On Percussionist on drums John Bonham MOBY DICK DICK DICK DICK...............

LED ZEPPELIN Best band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mikespyke]

@rocklover4 lol dude your the coolest, thats a great comment i love that part too. I love the introductions for the 2nd and 1st song....but thats just me!! lol cuz adurr i made it = ]]

[everett4114]

@rocklover4 fucking right dude, Moby Dick blows my mind, and the live versions are even crazier than the recording!

[KeithHarbaugh]

i was hopin to see Tom Sawyer or another Neil Peart high up.

[ftbldrmmr]

idk dude like cream white room? how is that top? way too easy

[TheAAXplosion]

whats first song hah?

[mkiyono]

Dude i love this selection. Drummin is the best.

[myeyezonly]

Great stuff. Happy you included some often ignored drummers like Charlie Watts and Don Brewer. I saw some top 100 performance lists that didn't have any Stones songs. I stumbled upon this when I was in a message board discussion about great drum performances.

[johnnybanana99]

Awsome

[M32Steven]

awesome music.

the second one counting down got taken away? : (

[Mikespyke]

@M32Steven thanks dude. no i dont think any of my videos have been taken down, the "rejected drum video" is a bad version of th FIRST video counting down, as in 60-44

all the other videos should be up i think.........dont scare me steven.....lol

[M32Steven]

@Mikespyke

i'm not trying to! lol.

43-26? it says it was taken down due to copyright infringement by WMG or something...

shit just got real : 0

[Shambles940]

Ringo Starr is a horrible drummer btw....Paul McCartney once said..."Ringo isnt even the best drummer in the band."

[SgtPeppers196714]

@Shambles940 Ringo Starr is a great drummer. From 1967-1969 he was as good as anybody.

[ObamaFanatic13]

I commented pre-maturely, ummmm first off Buddy Rich never played rock, he played big band. Second, if you were to include him among these drummers, then he should be first. That's fact, not opinion.

[Mikespyke]

lol thats funny how you took your comment back. yea Buddy Rich didnt play RknRoll there a lotta debate about that....I hope you think my videos still kick ass because he isnt first lol. thanks for the reply

[Mikespyke]

one of the reasons why I put him is because people like Bonham, Bill Ward, Mitchell etc draw a lot of inspiration from Buddy, so--while he isnt rock---if there were no Buddy there would be a lot less kick booty rock bands. I tried to give him credit (idk if Neil Peart or Moon were studied Buddy.....probably but idk)

[ObamaFanatic13]

kickass man!

[Phrase]

I enjoyed your list, but I fear these will videos will get flagged for copyright and get blocked...

Couple of songs missing: When The Levee Breaks (more significant than Kashmir in terms of drumming for example) Similarly The Mule should have been included, but I guess all Ian Paice songs have great drumming!

Check out my Bonham covers if you like.

[xxirellixx]

For all u people who want Rush, Neil Peart is overrated. The only reason hes number one is because he made it to the age of 40. Keith Moon is a better drummer just because he managed to make a whole song almost a drum solo and still have it sound good. Btw I would put Wont Get Fooled again a bit higher and let it get to his solo part.

[nelsonk96]

how was tom sawyer not in the countdown

[Mikespyke]

well I love Rush.....but I think Neil Peart does some drumming better than in the song Tom Sawyer

[nelsonk96]

im not saying hes best in tom sawyer, but its still amazing

[Mikespyke]

yea thats true. Tom Sawyer has some classic drumming it IS a great song

[mobofg]

awesome video.

[emmett12345678]

dont ya just love buddy...

[thedoors120]

this list is okay, but on your others you have some pretty horrible music.

[csedan510]

I'll allow you : ) Michael Shrieve over Bonham JUST because he was only 18-19 years old when he played that. Incredible playing.

[Phrase]

Check out the bootleg version of Pat's Delight (Bonzo's solo before Moby Dick when he was in his late teens...)

[cnewman99]

@Phrase That's probably my favorite solo. The version from 1968.

[Mikespyke]

Thanks chewman. I appreciate all your comments!! unfortunately I dont really enjoy the Mule, I think Ian Paice is beastly on most other DP trakcs. I know I know! How can I call myself a music lover

[cnewman99]

@Mikespyke No problem, thanks for the video! I was actually talking about Pat's Delight by John Bonham and Led Zeppelin. BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THE MULE?!?! Haha it's all good though.

[RockBanned]

@csedan510 Yeah but Bonham was probably trashed out of his mind when he played his, so he wins.

[jimmiewhiper]

look up hot for teacher by van halen and youll be blown way

[nathanyanagiya99]

it was on the list

[Mikespyke]

@jimmiewhiper

hot4teacher is on the list silly

[RSKJMJHB]

Where the hell was tom sawyer?????????????????? move all the songs back one and put tom sawyer at 1

[Mikespyke]

neil peart is amazing, but tom sawyer is a pretty overrated song

[nelsonk96]

@RSKJMJHB thats what im talkin about!!!!!!

[eddiehead64]

Nice compilation. How about:

1. replace White Room with Sunshine of Your Love.

2. consider Strawberry Fields or A Day in the Life

3. lose the AC/DC

4. is Buddy Rich rock and roll?

[azlesk8er]

look into some gavin harrison of porcupine tree, he's very good and not well known.

/watch?v=WKCIUpW3q9s

for an actual song...

/watch?v=irDNbIaSOM0

[crazyskater147]

NO! DUDE! moby dick should be number 1

[Mikespyke]

lol

[crazyskater147]

@Mikespyke but still great video =)

[AssassinSteven]

Nice. no neil pert, very overrated, but at the same time very dissapointed, Van Halen def had a spot in this, listen to On Fire or Girl Gone Bad, some sweet drums there

[nelsonk96]

@AssassinSteven im sorry but if you say neil pearts overrated than u dont know music at all

[Mikespyke]

yes that is santana, my grandpa showed me his live at woodstock DVD when I was about 6 and ive loved it ever since

[Szabmeister]

not bad...saw your comment on touch me by the doors and decided to have a look

[avi1010]

Neat !
