Many times the guitars or vocals of a song stick out. So, I thought today we could look at the Top 5 Rock Drumming Songs! Because there are so many with an awesome beat and insane fills.
To get my data on which songs should make this list, I used the DHA listeners. Each weekday at 4 pm I ask a question of the day at our DHA Facebook page. Then I let that sit for an hour with comments pouring in. I do First Call Last Call at 5, just in time for the ride home. That’s where I use the listener’s responses to piece together a set of music. Our listeners are the best too. They know their music and usually don’t get stumped by any question I throw at them.
There were certain bands or songs I expected to see in people’s comments and I did see them. For instance, many people just said ANY song by Rush. Which is a great answer. But some also picked just one or two songs by them. Some gave me lists of cool drumming songs. And others mentioned songs that weren’t at the top of my mind when I was thinking of my own answer to the question.
When you think about it, this question is all just an opinion. And it really doesn’t matter if someone considers the drumming in the song as skillful or technical. As long as it “hits you” the right way and it makes you tap your foot or air drum, then it’s a great drumming song!
Being a drummer myself, I have so many I could list, but thankfully I don’t have to answer my own question each day lol! Because I’ll say this….my opinion changes with the wind sometimes lol! It’s even hard to name my all-time favorite drummer. We could debate that for hours.
