What’s your most killer drum performance of all time?

[Kotkijet]

I guess for the mainstreamers, it would have to be Dave Grohl for his perfectly rhythmitic piece in Queens Of The Stone Age – Song For the Dead.

But for something a little more out there, check out this dude playing to Slaves Shall Serve by Poland’s finest, Behemoth.

You beat me to it grayson, First thing I thought of!! (Still, he is rather good )

[Pompete]

Matron…Keith Moon

I remember reading in my formative years how Keith Moon once approached the McWhither twins* from the Guiness Book of Records in an attempt to have his claim of having performed (how shall I put this?) conclusive cunnilingus on 32 women consecutively entered into the Record Book

They don’t make rock stars like they used too

* Thank you to NV for correcting me….how could I get their name wrong

[crizzy]

If you wanna be the best ooh ooh Dedication…that’s what you need!!
That last reply somewhat tickled me, if that’s the right phrase.

[Matron]

Pompete,

No they certainly don’t.

I could tell you a few stories!

Just to be slightly alternative, this guy gets my vote…

Oh, and are the Norris brothers related to the McWhirter twins, by any chance?

[Pompete]

NV

Who am I thinking of?

[madman marz]

"The devil lives in Birmingham but I don’t care"

The Queen is Dead by the Smiths, not only the greatest band of all time, but one of the best albums of all time.

[Adrian]

Whilst I agree there are lots of amazing drum solos on youtube I like this one because it is part of a great pop song –

Clem Burke was overlooked but I think a talented drummer who drives this along like an express train.

[Prufrock]

Some guy who drummed for a band called Quickpace Supersport in the early- to mid-1990s. Judged by Google, I think it must have been Max Corradi.

Awesome.

[graysonscolumn]

…later to become Quickspace, and to deliver some of the more interesting singles of the late 90s – Friend, Rise and the incredible Lobbalong Song to name but three.

[Grasshopper]

Reni’s drumming in the Stone Roses "Fools Gold" is right out of the top-drawer.

[NWRA]

I don’t know what is good drumming in the technical sense, so I’ll just name songs where I like the sound of the drums: Nirvana’s Son Of A Gun cover (I love those perfectly measured, crisp, pounding hits), the drums on Lovecraft by The Vaselines (that slightly militant-sounding, slightly Brazilian-sounding thing) and on Angels VS Aliens by Mogwai (same…).

Anything by Animal from the Muppets!!

[Seven Towers]

There is a great clip on youtube of Animal from the Muppets having a drum off with Buddy Rich. All Animals drumming was done by Ronnie Verrell who turned up at the end of his career as the drummer for the Skinnerettes on the Frank Skinner show. FS once had an 11 year old kid come on and play Paranoid by Black Sabbath and the elderly Verrell (who was well into his 70’s) went apesh#t on the drums accompanying him. That was a pretty good performance.
