Drummers Songs

Gamesradar has got an article on songs on Rock Band that would be great for the drummer to play. The problem is, this article was clearly written by a non-drummer and these songs are in fact completely wank to play.

Here's a real top 5 songs that are actually fantastic to play for drummers:

Fireball - Deep Purple
This song is the drumming equivalent of Through the Fire and Flames on Expert. It's really fast, really complex and really tight. Admittedly i can't actually play this song on the drums as i'd probably have a coronary half way through it.

Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix
Absolutely brilliant song, and the drums have so much passion, they're loose and heavy, and this song is so much fun to play.

The Wizard - Black Sabbath
The drums lead this song, the fills during the verses are great and teach you a lot how a good fill can be applied to the middle of a song to really liven up a pretty basic tune.

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
This is already on Rock Band's line-up and is one of my personal favourites ever to play. Keith Moon is a legend and this song shows him in all his glory. He was the loosest drummer i've ever seen just throwing in fills and crashes anywhere he fancied and, my god, it sounds good.

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
One of the simplest drum beats you can do , but it's just so damn strong in this song that John Bonham actually got a writing credit for his contribution. The crashes are just perfectly timed and coupled with the string section the drums really drive the entire song. Any other rhythm just wouldn't have worked.
