Which songs have your favourite drum tracks?

[jiyuuboyetsvi]

I for one am enamored by drum tracks and beats. Whenever I'm listening to a song, I always gravitate towards the drums first and foremost. So I'm wondering, which songs have y'alls favourite drum tracks?

A few examples from moi:
Down Rodeo - Rage Against the Machine (when the second verse vocals come in and the drummer rattles along to the flow of the lyrics gives me goosebumps)

Deer Dance - System of A Down (the hi hats here TwT)

X-Wing (Cold Blooded Soul Version) - Denzel Curry (so much sparkle)

Deer Dance - System of A Down (the hi hats here TwT)

John Dolmayan is a great drummer, really underated just like the rest of the band who aren't named Serj Tankian.

The first one that comes to mind for me;

Bill Ward is a phenomenal drummer, who once again I think gets overshadowed by the other 3 members of the band in pop culture. The guy was a beast though, love his huge tom hits and really jazzy, open style.

his ability to stick to the beat while flaring out so much on his kit near the end is majestic. Listening or watching drummers like this do their thing always puts me into a state of awe and wonder xD

All the Blut Aus Nord stuff. Alot of interesting drum patterns between the kick, cymbals, and snare. Almost groovy, despite the guitars twisting and distorting, like a rusted metal cube being sundered.

Might be a very weird pick considering the music that has been posted here but I really like the drums in this song.

the upload you chose might be blocked for embedding due to copyright or something, BUT i LOVE this song, probably my favourite Cure song tbh. And you're totes right, the guitars here are just as grimy as the drums.

 

[Cu-Neo]

"The game has changed" from Tron Legacy

I love how the song starts very calmly and then the drums appears to announce that both the Grid and the game has changed since the original movie.

I used to go to school with this girl who was big into Malice Mizer, Dir En Grey, Amadeus, Moi dix Mois. Her binder had all their pictures. I totally didnt understand it until many years later. Now i really love Malice Mizer.

The drums from Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks play in my brain 24/7. I also like Slint - Good Morning, Captain. Neither are particularly flashy or anything, I just like the pounding grooves.

Really any toe track, their drummer is an animal. This track in particular just brings something out of the entire band, they get feral in live versions.

[fishboneKiller]

flobots has a very particular sound to their drums that permeates all of fight with tools, i'm a big fan of it specifically in combat. the part at around 1:45 where the tom tom and hi hat line up with the lyrics is SO good
