    Oddly, I couldn't come up with one of my pseudoclever titles for this thread. Anyway, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about this time already, but to reiterate:

    Which song has the best drums?

    My vote is split between three songs:
    Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
    Objection (Tango), Afro-Punk Version - Shakira
    Punch Drunkard - Yellow Monkey

    (Note: As a drummer, I consider my opinions informed on this matter.)

    Eraser does indeed have a sexy drum beat, but some of the funk/african stuff I've heard recently easily takes the cake from under the snare of all rock music.

    The funnest beats to play, though, are old punk songs, my favourite being Moving Into The Pulsebeat by The Buzzcocks.

    We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister has some nice drums at the start, but it kind of takes a back seat after that.

    So quantity over quality? If you only want numbers, there are bands with entire percussion sections. Having two drummers doesn't really matter unless the stuff they're doing is actually any good. I mean, you could have two of me (a scary thought, yes) hammering away on two sets of drums, but that would just suck because neither of me would know what I was doing. On the other hand, if you have just one really good drummer (Dave Grohl, por ejemplo), it can be all that much better.

    there's 2 drumers in slipknot because their main drummer doesn't have fast enough feet for the double bass rythmns that they want. so the second drummer plays them with his hands instead.:rolleyes:

    Pretty much anything by Rush, Neal Peart is the drumming king.

    Maybe YYZ, it's kinda hard to choose.
