Crashed my car at 17 playing air drums to this song while driving...not a serious accident so it's made a good story/funny memory...ahh Steve Miller in the summertime.

I also like (but have not crashed to):

Rosanna (reminds me of Fool in the Rain)
New Model Army's Inheritance (I think it's called)
My Morning Jacket's cover of Erica Badu's Tyrone

Some great ones listed in this thread, too! Thanks!

"When The Levee Breaks" is IMO the greatest drums of all time by a far leap, but if we are talking about just the coolest Drum intro I would go with "Rock N Roll" also by Bohnam.

primemeat64 · 13th January 2008, 02:51 AM

yeah i gotta say, ringo was great - beacuse he was original - probably through the lack of formal training...

FFTT · 13th January 2008, 03:02 AM

I wonder how many honorary Doctorates of Music Ringo could have if he wanted them.

"Disease" is a great choice, used to love mixing it every night on tour!

Simon Phillips on Jeff Beck's "Space Boogie". it is also one of the most amazing feats of drumming endurance and dynamics ever!

The front of anything that Mickey Curry did with Bryan Adams or Hall and Oates. His intro groove for "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane.

Everyone else took all the Bonham stuff already!!!!!
