Air-drum songs

[CottonEyedHorn]

What song are you likely to find yourself drumming on the steering wheel like a fool too:
2:30 mark of Jack and Diane or 3:18 mark of In the Air Tonight?

Others?

 

[Bytor]

Just about all of Tom Sawyer.

 

[bevo_daddy]

Since I've been learning to play the drums, its just about every song now.

 

[Chest Rockwell]

So many Rush songs to name - my favorite might be La Villa Strangiato.

Plus, when am I ever going to get to use this emoticon again . . .

 

[Fievel121]

Any Cranberries song!!

 

[CBDTexas]

One of my favorites is Everlong by Foo Fighters.

 

[Uncle Rico]

fat bottom girls, listen to the drum roll at the 2:19 mark. pretty much $.

fat *** chicks

 

[UTCzech]

First one I always think of is Genesis - In the Cage Medley
Part 1

Part 2


Rush - gotta go with Subdivisions

And although he's mainly known as a basher, John Bonham could put up some great air drum licks
In My Time of Dying

The Wanton Song

(really, the entire Physical Graffiti album is a great one to play along with, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, Custard Pie, all great!)

 

[MGS]

One

 

[ferrariparty]

Won't Get Fooled Again
Runnin' with the Devil
YYZ

 

[Bluepies]

"In the Air Tonight" is mine. I don't think the one in "Jack and Diane" compares.

Phil Collins stuff is a good bet if he's not serenading. At least half of Metallica's Black Album works. There's more, just can't think of any right now.

 

[Hobbes2702]

"Well thought out twinkles" by Silversun Pickups, and anything by Tool although I look like an idiot because the drums are too difficult.


"Well Thought Out Twinkles"

 

[Squall]

everlong is a great choice

smells like teen spirit for me

 

[Horn89]

Everlong (chorus especially)
Fool in the Rain (coming out of fast section going back to main riff... man, I love those 2 rolls)
Go Your Own Way ... very non-traditional drum pattern in the verses

 

[killerfrog17]

Gotta second In The Air Tonight and One.

 

[The Muzzler]

"Midnight Blue"..........Lou Graham

 

[rickysrun]

Rush-Limelight

Led Zeppelin- Levee Breaks

 

[vtaenz]

Remenissions

Beginning of this song and up through the first minute and a half or so.

Cover

Same thing as first link just another guy doing a pretty decent job of it.

 

[notreally]

you ever try to air drum to metallica "one". damn, it's a *****.

 

[TexasRx]

Anything and everything hammered out by Neil Peart.

 

[Steel Shank]

Zeppelin's D'yer Mak'er

 

[Rip76]

"Go Your Own Way ... very non-traditional drum pattern in the verses"

Someone who pays attention....
Mick

I've been playing guitar for a long time, but I never air guitar...
always air drum.

All Rush

Good Times Bad TImes - Zep
Sing Child Sing - Heart
Little Queen - Heart
Down and Out - Genesis
Heart of the Sunrise - Yes
I Know What I like (In Your Wardrobe) - Yes
Dancing Days - Zeppelin

Thanks for the great topic to get my mind off of this storm and days with no power.

Don't even start a topic about Air-bass.

 

[beaVo]

don't forget that part in "hotel california" after he says "just can't kill the beast"

 

[hullabelew]

The Cars: Just What I Needed.

Throughout the song, the snare is hit on 2 & 4, then after Benjamin Orr (RIP) sings "Time Time", Robinson switches briefly to hitting on the 1 & 3 count, then switches back. He does is a couple of other times, but that first switch is simple...yet brilliant. I can't help but play along.

At the 2:09 mark of this
Damn, the Midnight Special was a great show. I saw so much new music on her in the mid to late 70s.

 

[CottonEyedHorn]

I also gotta throw in Larry Mullen at the start of HMTMKMKM.... ( 0:45 mark and again at the 4:10 mark).

 

[beaVo]

oh, and the beginning of "walk this way"

one of the most recognizable drum beats ever

 

[hullabelew]

I always liked the simple drum start to Steve Miller's "Take The Money And Run" and the mess that is the start of The Pretenders "Middle of the Road".

[Rip76]

I think his drum sound is the best ever.

Sing Child Sing (live)The Link

man that's so Zeppelin.

 

[bandrew]

The intro to You Could be Mine by G N R is pretty sweet although its hard to keep up even while "air" drumming.
