Not mentioned yet I think:

Digital Man-Rush

You're All I Got Tonight-The Cars

KenDrums1082 · 26th January 2008, 09:03 AM

I gotta say my favorite is The very beginning of "The Way Up" by the Pat Metheny Group

**Jules** · 26th January 2008, 09:19 AM

Honkey Tonk Woman - Stones (thick, humid Memphis night air affecting the sound?) - more cowbell

We Wont Get Fooled Again - The Who - the best ever 'telegraphed' drum entry? - An Olympic gold javelin throw... thrilling to follow, very long, totally victorious on landing..

orange · 26th January 2008, 09:59 AM

joni mitchell - help me (john guerin)
david bowie - young americans (andy newmark)

Beyersound · 27th January 2008, 02:58 AM

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, John Lennon's Instant Karma. It must have been Andy Newmark..... Not too shabby! Won't get Fooled, great call Jules!!!!

The drumming on that is so awesome. i can't listen to it right now but i don't recall hearing any hi hat. Just snare bass, 1, maybe two crashes, and some perfect fills on the the toms.

I recently watched the Imagine documentery and was under the impression that Alan White played on that track.

Van Halen - Hot for Teacher gets my vote.

That and the live version of Green by Leon Milmore.

elroy jetson · 20th March 2008, 02:33 AM

The Mars Volta - Wax Simularca - drums by thomas pridgen. LOVE how his drums sound on this album

YouTube - The Mars Volta - Wax Simulacra: Web Video - Closed Captioned

Goliath|Audio · 20th March 2008, 03:27 PM

Steve Winwood - Higher Love

Yeah, that whole album has amazing tracks by JR Robinson...

HeavyG · 9th May 2008, 05:36 AM

Great ideas and nominations...some "stealth" cuts that come to mind. Nothing crazy...just builds a tremendous sense of anticipation for the main riff.

-Eruption (Alex Van Halen)...flam, ruff...ruff....EDWARD
-Peg (Rick Marotta)...masterful use of the ride cymbal
-Tripping Billies (Carter Beauford)...great latin cowbell vibe into some sweet riffage
-Back in Black (Phil Rudd) ...never have hi hat quarter notes (combined with Angus' palm
mutes) been so beautifully simple and perfect...sets the stage for one of the most
memorable riffs of all time
-Creeping Death (Lars Ulrich)...wow...does this opening ever set the stage for some
metal up your a$$. The cymbal chokes (combined with those amazing chords) KILL
-Come Together (Ringo Starr)...the coolest little texture show courtesy of an underrated groove meister
-Fire (Mitch Mitchell)..."Allrighta...now dig this baby" name a catchier intro...I dare ya :)

I could go on...there are so many...I will let some other Slutz have the floor.

Alex Wyler · 23rd May 2008, 05:39 AM

U2 - "Like a Song" from WAR. Laurence Mullen Junior kicks it hard!

Emmylou Harris - "Where will I be" from Wrecking Ball - Brian Blade is the Black Panther/Elvin Jones/Al Jackson Jr.

drumkideric · 23rd May 2008, 09:50 PM

Weezer - The Sweater Song. It's simple but yet great.

Bryan Talbot · 23rd May 2008, 09:56 PM

Killing Joke - Tension

manning1 · 27th May 2008, 12:30 AM

my fav drum intro.
david lyndleys version of mercury blues.
i smile everytime i hear it.

biccys · 11th June 2008, 12:04 PM

Hi guys, noob poster here. I'm a drummer by trade and am really interested in all these fantastic parts you've all come up with. For me, these are the daddies too.

Larry Mullen Jr. - Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2. Surely the most instantly recognisable drum intro ever!?

Matt Sorum (I think) - Welcome to the Jungle - GNR. Powerful and driving intro that sets up the whole tune.

Gordon McRory (Mince Fratelli) - Chelsea Dagger - The Fratelli's. Great dance rhythm, dead simple and easy to play but fun!

Companda · 27th June 2008, 07:17 AM

The Smashing Pumpkins- I Am One. It's good live. The song's nothing special though.

Drummer - Jimmy Chamberlain
