Great catchy drumming top 3

[Snugster]

probably the most recognisable drum intro ever

Don't think they are drums, I seem to remember Brian May saying that it's floorboards being hit or dropped.

Very under rated drummer, Nick Mason.

Maybees not on the recorded version but definately when played live. Taylor is using a hand bass srum in the video

 

[Bakerlooline]

probably the most recognisable drum intro ever

No drums used on the recording of We Will Rock You, it's all multi layered foot stomps and hand claps. Drums were only used when played live.

I like Adam Deitch from Lettuce. Seriously funky.

 

[Leon Solent]

3. Please Please Me - Ringo & The Beatles

I've just fallen off me chair.

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

 

[gabbiadini1]

Yep, that's the feller.

Simon Gallup was a top bloke as well. Had a few beers with him in The Red Lion round the corner from the studio. Proper down to earth.



No idea about that I'm afraid. My knowledge of them is limited pretty much to their time in the studio while I worked there.

Are you still in the industry mate?

 

[BlackOps]

 

[PinzaC55]

The great Warren Cann on drums.

 

[BlackOps]

Always liked the drum track to this

And another alternative track from youth known for its drums

I've just fallen off me chair.

Had you not heard it before?

 

[TNT73]

Another Moon one.

 

[fyl2u]

Nah, got laid off not long before EMI sold Olympic.

Any chance to chuck a bit of mighty Max Weinberg up...

Before I posted my Moon one I was considering this same one.

 

[Pop]

 

[Boinger]

Don't think they are drums, I seem to remember Brian May saying that it's floorboards being hit or dropped.

Legend has it that it was a loose floor board from Mays greenhouse, which gave him the initial idea and the board was transfered to the recording studio.

Thanks for the reminder. Loved Rush back in the day
