When you think about exciting drum beats...

The intro to Walk This Way (simple but way effective). Any James Brown. Frank Beard (ZZ Top) on either La Grange or Thunderbird. Ian Paice (Deep Purple) on Pictures of Home.

 

Oh... and the whole groove to that Jay Z tune about Canna Getta What-What or whatever it's called. That would kill in another context.

I'm just gonna say it before someone else does: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."

 

That said, I'm probably a wee bit more partial to Clyde Stubblefield's beats. :D

 

Still... back on the 'novelty song' front -- I've got a real soft spot for Ray Baudec's work on the Bob Crosby/Bobcats' hit, "Big Noise from Winetka."

Well... yeah... if you want to open things up to ensemble drumming... some of the front line rhythms of various salsa, soca, Afro-Cubano outfits or some of the other drumming ensembles from Africa... I always loved the extreme funk of Fela Kuti's bands. And, even all slicked up for us tourists, Sunny Ade's show band drum ensembles have really been able to lock into a groove...

I assume...

 

 

Armenian Radio was asked: "Is it true that comrade cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's car was stolen in Moscow during the celebrations?"

 

Armenian Radio answers: "In principle yes, but it was not in Moscow, rather in Kiev, and it was not his car, but his bike and it was not comrade cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, but comrade highschool teacher Gagarin and his first name was not Yuri, but Leonid..."
