Top best drum parts in rock history
Table of Contents
Speaking of traditional rock band line-ups, it seems that the drummer always gets the least attention... The audience is usually focused on the guitarist or frontman, and it's hard for a drummer who is "banging the drums in the background" to draw attention to himself. Nevertheless, the foundation of any great rock song is the rhythmand it was the drummers who managed to make the bass frequencies interesting.
At times, the drummer acts as "leading instrument" instead of a guitarist, hammering out the kind of energetic rhythms and parts that would require the stamina of a marathon runner! And yet they remain "in the shadows."It's not easy to be the "beating heart" of a band, but it's easy to be the "beating heart" of a band, to some extent, because first of all their goal is to be a part of the track and the band, not the "leading link". In general, it is not easy to be the "beating heart" of a band. But the heroes, who will be discussed below, coped with this role brilliantly! We offer you top drum kits in rock history according to Fuzz Music magazine.
Metallica - "One"
For metal fans Lars Ulrich Is one of the greatest titans of the genre in general, and of his instrument in particular! Undeniable: "And Justice for All" is considered a more progressive metal album by Metallica standards (at least that's what many critics have stated), and it's in the track "One." Ulrich's abilities go to a new level....
In "One," Lars takes on the role of leaderwhile the guitars follow him. Telling the sad story of a military man who was literally left without arms, legs and face, this composition is a blank canvas for Ulrich from a melodic point of view! His rhythms can easily be regarded as machine gun lights. And when the tempo increases a little during the solo section, you seem to get a glimpse into the character's state of mind... Perhaps that's what a human heartbeat sounds like when terror completely consumes it?
Toto - "Rosanna"
One of the most important lessons a drummer must learn is how to hold the groove. Despite the fact that play fast - A cherished wish of almost every drummer, the beauty of a track is determined by a completely different criterion. First of all, it is important to establish right paceto make everyone feel comfortable. And a classic hit "Rosanna." - is a clear indication of that.
Jeff Porcaro actually has a lot more opportunities to play drums in this song than most other rock stars could claim! You can even hear the rest of the band follow his lead in terms of funk style, from Steve Lukather's jazzy lead parts to Mike Porcaro's actually slap bass parts every time it comes to the chorus.
The Beatles - "The End"
Ringo Starr has always been a good drummer, but no more. As the critics put it:
"In the days of The Beatles, he didn't play anything screaming, groundbreaking..."
Nevertheless - periodically Starr would step out of his "comfort zone" and let the world know who he was. Such was the case during the recording session "The End.": it's a beat that never strays from the rhythm and just keeps a constant pulse, which fattens up with subtle textures throughout the track....
Judas Priest - "Painkiller"
Before any guitars or Rob Halford's signature vocals begin, "Painkiller." is made up entirely of percussion Scott Travis. And what a lot! Double bass, strong emphasis on snare drums and tinkling cymbals... All this may sound a bit chaotic, but gradually the intensity increases and a tempo is formed, allowing the rest of the band to "get into the game".
Any regular drummer it's going to take months (if not years) to work on that intro alone! Travis definitely deserves an ovation for his talent.
The Who - "Won't Get Fooled Again"
In "Won't Get Fooled Again," the drums. Keith Moon are felt as the real hysteria that comes when people are united by the power of music....
In this song, the whole band plays at a high level, but Moon sets the "heartbeat"around which the life of the track takes shape...
Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick."
Anyone who's ever wanted to play drums in a rock 'n' roll band has been inspired by the John Bonham. His "handwriting" as a drummer was unique, and no follower has ever been able to come close to something like it... In the "Moby Dick." John gradually quickens the tempo as the intensity builds around him and maintains a firmness that shows off his skills in all their glory. There is hardly a drummer who can truly rival the stamina of John Bonham in his prime. While some may be faster, and some may try to do things more technically, you'll never find someone who puts the same soul into their craft as Bonzo.
And also - more 4 tracks lastly, whose drumming has become a classic in its own right.
