I just joined. I don't play an instrument and I don't know anything about music theory, but I love your videoes! Inspired by them I have decided that I want to learn though.
Danny Seraphine on 25 or 6 to 4. Terry Kath never gets any love either:
Hey Rick, how come you didn’t play the bass on Brother To Brother? 😆 My excuse would be that pesky carpal tunnel acting up again….
@@Junichild h
"come together" by the beatles should have been the beatles pick imo
Rick, I believe I speak for many when I say this: we DO appreciate all the hard work it takes to record your videos!
Absolutely, get this to the top. We don't just appreciate the videos for the content, but also for all the time and work you put into them.
Agreed. Really dug this production. Great seeing these performed live too.
Agreed!
High quality production and edit. Totally appreciate your efforts!
Rick - ditto on all these sentiments. Love the way you put it all together. This is really making me miss Ginger Baker. All the greats are leaving us. Thankfully they leave a legacy that you highlight with some spot-on elucidations.
The video works so well because just like “In the Air Tonight” you spend the whole time just waiting to hear that drum fill and when you hear it, it’s everything you had wanted.
Everytime. It has never failed me after thousands of listens
Was just listening to that song earlier tonight on my daily COVID walk and the drums were glorious.
No offence intended fellas, but I've always thought it pretty basic, and pedestrian. Don't really like the song as a whole either. I think there is a lot more interesting stuff out there. Listen to Denis Davis' drum track on Bowie's 'Look Back In Anger'. It's filled with great fills.
@@warrenmilford1329 You seem to be the only person in the comments section with this opinion.
@@warrenmilford1329 Completely agree it’s incredibly overrated. I’m not saying it’s not good and impactful to the song, but it’s not standing the test of time for me and is becoming duller each time I listen now. Probably hundreds of drum fills that catch me more - basically everything Bonham, Peart, Bruford. Alan White, Moon, even Akane Hirose of Band Maid, are much more interesting to the ear. 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe it's been mentioned elsewhwere, but Bonham's fills coming out of the 'whistle/ speed up portion of Fool In The Rain is priceless. He just builds and builds, then comes in with those incredibly amazing syncopated drum rolls. Listen to it again for the first time. Achilles last stand is up there too.
I absolutely agree...i was just listening to that song
The real power of Phil Collins's drumming in In The Air Tonight isn't just in the first big fill. It's when you keep listening to the song, and the fills after that just keep you immersed in the energy. That's a pretty unusual thing - usually it's the lead guitar or the vocals that keep you immersed, but somehow Phil makes his drums the key to the whole experience.
Phil Colins' drum fill is not just a "drum fill" or "drum Phill". It is an essential part of the song. Without it would not be the same song.
Yap. But here I miss the real drum sound. It needs more compression.
If you are interested in how the sound was created search for Hugh Padgham and and Making of "Hitmaker".
Damn I love that library!
Really like this comment
I'd like this a million times if I could. "The fill" I guess is famous, but it's the rest of his work in the rest of the song that's most impressive to me. Really, all the fill does is change the texture of the song. It's a big, dramatic change, for sure. But musically it's relatively simple. The rest is not so much.
An 8 year old child with no musical training could do the “In the air tonight” fill.
How disappointing that not only did it make the same list with proper drummers, he also ranked it number 1?
My lingering thought after this list is giving a serious shout out to Jack -- the guy who just _nailed_ all these legendary fills.
Totally!
Yep - it's about more than just playing the notes - it also has to "feel" a certain way, too.
Some of those fills are pretty hard! I was impressed by how he breezed through that Tony Williams fill, and also the Vinnie Colaiuta fill.
Amen; insanely impressive that he could nail all of these! -Tom
But he didn't though.
BIll Ward's drum fills on War Pigs...the whole song has a great mix of amazing drums, bass and guitar
oh man... so true.
beat me to it
Who were the special guests? Anyone know?
Loveee that song
Bill Ward and Geyser Butler - the Birmingham heavy mob.
One thing I have to say, Jack is a great drummer.
Excellent rhythm, timing and wondeful feel.
The fill during the break of “Don’t You Forget About Me” by drummer Mel Gaynor is in my top 5. Another is the fill at the end of “Bytor and the Snowdog” by Neil Peart.
Peart’s fill before the solo in YYZ is another good one.
Yeah, Mel Gaynor should definitely have been in there. Iconic drum fill.
I still remember when I first heard ‘Waterfront’. What a difference Mel made to that band, adding power and drive. A great drummer indeed.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good those snippets sound?
SentientSeven - I agree. These guys are really good
totally, great musicians
Wait,....appreciated. Done!
Absolutely! Great job Rick and everyone who helped out!
HELL YEA!
As an amateur videographer I am blown away by the huge amount of work it must have taken to put this video together. Getting the parts down, getting the audio down, getting the lighting down, editing and making sure the video flowed properly etc. etc. Well done Rick Beato and team, well done!
He's very good with the apps on a computer, wish I knew em all
...and all the different kits...phew
@Snarick Klash you’re right then, i change my mind, this video was super easy to make.
Indeed. Bravo!
He's been doing it a while.
Yo, as many of us are musicians here that means many of us have done the recording process, the editing & mixing process and I think it's safe to say we are all just as impressed and thankful for the hard work we know goes into MAKING any of your videos as we are with the actual content of the videos themselves! Never stop doin what you do Rick! 🙏🏼
Collins’ fill from In The Air Tonight made you want to hear that song over and over again. I was working the cash register at a local record store when it was hitting the charts. Young guy, mid 20’s came bursting into the store, right up to my spot and said “There’s this song…”
I reached over my shoulder without looking to the #1 spot on the 45 display, grabbed it and put it on the counter in front of him and asked, “Anything else?” He gleefully paid and left with his treasure. As I watched him leave I saw my coworker staring at me, asking “How did you do that?!?”
😂😂
Back in the day, when we wanted to test out the new Pioneer Supertuner we just installed in our vehicles, we'd reach for this song and crank the volume waaay up.
When you know you know!!! Lol!
The drummer in this video, Jack Jones, is fucking amazing. Super crisp playing.
...Added to the fact he's copying a range of drummers with different styles makes it even more impressive; and no doubt the video had time constraints too!! Well observed!
He did fuck up on the sober and stratus fills though
@@user-bi3jm7hg8n Yep. He's great. No Danny Carey. Danny Carey is Danny Carey.
Chris Serpicø Yes good but was off on some fills
@@talis61 except he cannot play smells like teen spirit correct.
"What I mean to drum fills?? Tututututututu
DRUM FILLS!!"
-Rick Beato, 2019
Luxito _44 lol I read this right as he was saying it. Rick is awesome.
Tutututututu is the one from "In The Air Tonight"
OB Joyful LMAO 😂 cause its true
Ciao! I think that what Bill bruford does in the beginning of "Heart of the sunrise" must stay in the top ten! Love It!
Deep Purple has in "Space trucking" one of the most incredible drum fill of all time.
Ian Paice often goes unnoticed
Very surprised `Fireball' wasn't in there
"Burn" is like one big fill from beginning to end. As @eugeneward3199 said, Paice is below a lot of peoples radar. But an amazing drummer.
Ian Paice shouldnt go unnoticed, I must agree
@@patrickburns8033 Probably because he couldn't play it...?
Tool’s “Pneuma” has Danny’s best drum fills from start to finish. Hard to even narrow down one. The whole song is so good it’s bonkers.
I have watched it six times in the last three days. And normally I just listen to UA-cam, not watch the actual videos...it’s mind blowing!
I was impatiently waiting for him to mention it 😆
Exactly the same invincible and 7empest
Agreed
I was expecting more Danny in this video
Holy Hell... the Bass Player at 3:13 is AMAZING! MORE of this guy please!
Yes, that was insanely impressive
You got a hell of an ensemble Rick. Good stuff as always Rick. Thx man! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁👍👍
Dave Grohl's fills with Queens Of The Stone Age - No One Knows are great!
I got pulled over for missing a stop sign in college because I couldn't slow down because I had to get that Stewart Copeland "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" fill in on the steering wheel.
Did the cop understand?
@@Justme77400 The Police would have.
@@GeneralTHC It was a lame attempt at a joke, sorry 😞
@@GeneralTHC Cheers. Here's for a better 2021 👍
@@Mustaine1ify my man that was a great joke and you should sport a feather in your hat, sir
Bill Ward and his drum fills are so damn underrated. He should have been there.
Abso-tively! No, he wasn't Neil Peart, or Steve Gadd, but he didn't have to be. It just so fit their groove. Good call.
Damn I totally forgot about him. You are so right. The rimshot groove on the intro to Hand of Doom is astounding. Plus many more.
@@allrequiredfields just came on here to say exactly the same thing
He probably wanted to throw them on there, but their blockers, and from the sound of how they made this video, giving context to the fill, Rick probably wouldn't have been able to.
I got two words for you. Stephen Morris
This video was incredible. Well done to everybody on it. The top 3 + honourable mentions was amazing. I love the Bonham fills. Jack is too good.
Yeah, that sneaky kick foot stutter at the start of Good Times is the stuff of legend..
I was sure ‘Kashmir’ was going to be number one! The bass drum fill in U2 ‘I still haven’t found what I’m looking for’ deserved an honourable mention for sheer originality!
and i was sure war pigs was going to be number one
When Jack nailed Vinnies part, he could have at least turned to the camera and smiled. That was magic.
Omg, yes. When I saw this video the first time and Vinnie hit that me and my friend were just like, Holysh...along with the audience...I'm not even a drummer, but it was this video that got me hooked on watching drummer videos. Sick stuff with sticks, guys...never stop
Agreed!!
Vinnie's multitudinous divisions of the note made him a good counterpoint to Jeff Beck's taffy-like legato; but other than that he's just a fast drummer. "Watermelon in Easter Hay" was pretty good, though.
Mitch Mitchell is a legendary drummer. This whole list could be filled with his drum fills, I love the fill on Bold As Love.
Homur Simpsin Along with Neil & Stewart, he’s the cat I air drum to the most 🤣 I should probably mention Larry Mullen Jr as well.
Absolutely
And how could I forget my favorite drummer from the 70’s. Mitch Mitchell. The fills on Hey Joe are insane. Danny Seraphini as well
I was kind of hoping All along the watchtower's intro would have been at least an honorable mention
Rick, As I listen to your videos I continue to discover music I have never heard before. These top 20 videos are so well done. Please keep 'em coming.
Man you can tell that everyone was having a blast putting this together.
That Tom Sawyer fill is so damn good and so damn difficult. When I finally came out of it on beat I felt like a gymnast landing perfectly at the end of a routine. It was probably my 80th attempt.
Even if I get the fill Im so excited that I screw something else up! Hope to play this and Amazing Journey correct once before I die😂
& it should be #1.
Stick the landing
I can't do the Tom Sawyer fill correctly and I've been playing for 20 years. I can't do the Tool fill either. I just play like a bastardized version of them that sounds similar.
Neil always said it was a hard song to play
The drum entry fill on Misty Mountain Hop is so good. It’s so simple put it pulls you in so nicely!
Love this list, thank you for doing all the hard work to put it together. Jack is a blast to watch and hear covering some of these insanely difficult fills. But Lars Urlich and Dave Grohl making the list without a mention of either Carter Beauford or Gavin Harrison (or even Mike Portnoy)? CRIMINAL!
The greatest drum Phil of all time.
That's a Phukking good one!!!
Oh phorphuck sakes
Phil Collins is a great drummer
Knyuck Knyuck Knyuck!
My wife full’Phils all my needs ...
Jack is really really amazing. To be able to nail Steve Gadd, Vinnie C, and John Bonham is amazing.
This. My god he’s freaking GREAT.
I actually got nervous for him when he had to follow the Steve Gadd video.
Well worth watching with Jack on drums - outstanding
Geoffrey Smith - Yup
When playing Ringo was just so in spot!
Jack is an incredible fine drummer, sense of groove, sense of time, sense of what a song need, fantastic!
Rick, I know what is need to make and film these, big thank you for that hard work!
Love this!
Love these lists! I hope you do a sequel. My two cents worth: A list of great drum fills would never be complete without Chicago's Danny Seraphine and his amazing drum fill in the song "Make Me Smile".
That whole ballad for a girl in Buchanan suite is some stellar composition
i'm a simple guy, i see Danny Carey, i click
Except he wasn't in the video. It's even stranger that no one has said anything about that lol
I did also
But no DC in the video... CLICK BAIT
I agree I clicked this video and watched the whole thing Just in hopes I’d see DC play A fill from one Tool song!’
FlyingDorritoChip me on the same train mate hhhh
Top 20 Mistakes Left in the Mix
UPVOTE THIS TO DEATH
how are they mistakes?
@@benparsons4979 oh I meant that would be a cool video to make, not commenting on the drum fills
@@TomFaronMusician oh OK I thought you were hating on drumming or something my bad lol
yes please
Awesome job on the Stairway solo, Rick!
Wonderful Rick and Jake- shining the light on these moments of brilliance is super insightful and most importantly very INSPIRING!
Rick!!! We ABSOLUTELY care how long it takes to make a video. Your dedication to put these magical music moments together
means so much. Music is such a powerful medium, and your passion and dedication allows us a ride we would otherwise NEVER
get to go on.
These videos high light timeless pieces that enthrall as much today as the day they dropped. These experiences reinvigorate the same passion and joy as when we was kids!
Speaking of awesome albums from back in the day. One of my all time faves: Not Fragile - Bachman Turner Overdrive (aka BTO)
I still rock out as much to that today as in '77. Rob was one of my drummer inspirations.
Jack did a magnificent job learning (transcribing & practising !) and playing all those drums parts
What is the name of the drummer playing every fill??? He is very versatile!!!
great drummer
I can't believe how well he nailed that Vinnie fill. Would not want to be in his shoes when Rick approached him with this video idea.
Hear hear..mad skills.
Well done Jack
Jack played the 11:12 triplet beautifully! That Bonzo groove gives me chills.
The kit used for the two zeppelin parts sounds amazing the bass drum beautiful 👍
Rick: "Can you play that?"
Jack: "Not sure, it's pretty hard"
*Proceed to demolish that solo
I love the appreciation Rick has for TOOL and how they are in most of his lists.
Drums in Tool are very characteristic and pretty sick in my opinion (I mean that opened hi-hat to snare is amazing)
Radosław Walkowski completely agree. Danny Carey is my favourite drummer and imo one of the best ever. But I’m not going to get into an argument who’s the best because you could argue so many drummers
How about ZZ Top's La Grange middle drum fill?
Another honorable mention: the tom fills Ringo played on A Day in the Life. So well done.
Weirdly enough, I heard "War pigs" on the radio today, and I thought to myself: "this entire song is just a reason to do drum fills"
Then I see RB's new video tonight.
Witches at black masses indeed.
Dude, I would have put money on War Pigs being in the top 5. I'm baffled.
Black Sabbath are notorious for blocking videos, so they often don’t get the credit they deserve in these kinds of lists
@@kingofvwcosmos yes, Rick has said he's pretty much done including anything with Sabbath or Ozzy.
@@kingofvwcosmos I blame Sharon
What is so interesting is the Phil Collins one isn’t even the most complex, but it’s certainly the most memorable
Its all about the cocaine, greasepaint and limelight production circa 1981 that made it an earworm. The thing was an afterthought suggestion by a producer 'so the kids will know where 1 is' eager for his take on Gabriel's 'Intruder' drum sound off the 3rd eponymous album coincidentally being recorded just down the hall and tracked sans cymbals because of the intense attack/release noise-gating. And in fact with Collins sitting in for Jerry Marotta on that ground breaking album's first cut. The fill itself as with all the drum patterns employing that extreme gating threshold were kept simple and minimal to achieve isolation from other aounds on the kit for maximum effect. Otherwise its no mean feat for beginners with a few lessons under their belt (or not) to swing a couple bars of an open single stroke roll, just sayin'.
and up until that point the song uses a drum machine
It’s really fantastic those In The Air Tonight drums fills.
yeah there is something so satisfying about though because the song really takes off after that.
All of his work has the best sounding, hardest hitting tom sounds in music...
Yes Rick, we DO LOVE what you are doing. Grateful. Much love from Marrakech ❤
Great stuff as always Rick! Hard to leave Bonham's fills on Fool In The Rain out (3:40-3:49) and a lesser known gem by Bob DiSalle on Bruce Cockburn's All's Quiet On The Inner City Front at 1:36 :)
"Fool in the Rain" has by far my favorite fill of all time
Great call! A very overlooked song in the Zep catalogue
Adam Larson totally. It’s my favorite Led Zep song
I was gonna say!!!! That timbale to snare to tom thing before the guitar synth solo is beyond epic.
bonham should have 15 spots on here
Check out the fills in "Hay Hay What Can I Do" ,
Bonzo's fill three quarters way into "In My Time of Dying" is the ONLY fill that has continuously knocked me out of the chair for 46 years in a row. NO ONE can copy that one. Even with that omission I still love your work Rick.
Ain't no bad playing by Bonzo, right!!??
Sib Hashanah? Boston? Eddie Van Halen?? MTV??? Need to expand that list...
Dude............ you are wayyyyy correct.
Or any of the handful of fills in Dazed and Confused by Zeppelin too
"In my time of dying" is probably the most underrated piece of drumming Bonzo has ever recorded. Completely locked in with guitar AND bass, both hard rocking and funky, extremely odd (accenting the funk in the upbeat of 1 with a quintuplet), hitting hard and sounding big.
Rest assured the first thing that popped into my head when I watched this video is that putting this together took a lot of hard work and I can’t believe we get the pleasure of watching it all! Hope you are proud of the what you’ve put together. So many talented musicians!
Top twenty were awesome. Bobby Colomby's Spinning Wheel fill was always iconic to me. Appreciate your vids. Rick, you and your players are tip top!
Props to Jack for playing all those fills so amazingly!
I think Dave Grohl on queens of the stone age songs for the deaf is a blatant oversight 🤘
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!
There are many cool drummers and drum fills instead. There´s Bonham, who´s the drum daddy of Grohl. And there´s the Smells Like Teen Spirit intro, which allowed him to be EVERYWHERE, so I think it´s fair enough to leave his contribution to the QOTSA out of this.
That fill in “No One Knows” where he clacks his sticks is epic!
agree
I watched the whole video thinking : "Song for the Deaf can't be out of the list, it's coming!". Nope. Anyway, awesome work Rick and your nice little crew.
I would nominate Kenny Aronoff's famous fill from John Mellencamp's _Jack & Diane_ to be included somewhere in this list.
Pictures of home intro from Ian Paice has everyyhing, speed, power, accuracy, top notch indeed.
The great thing about "In the Air Tonight" is all the build-up to that fill.
Yeah the fill should've come last after the short build - but otherwise once again a fab video thnx guys :)
Yeah.. the entire song where it’s leading up to that is what makes it incredible
Agree
And the $$$$$$$ Phil gets paid for it... :)
Stargazer's drum intro is absolutely amazing, but what is even more amazing perhaps is that the song doesn't let up or let you down for even an instant after that. Truly the perfect heavy metal anthem. As good as metal gets.
I think the song light in the black off that same album has one of Blackmore's best solo ever.
I posted it on a thread some years ago, and the next post said "Damn! That is the best solo I have ever heard. You will understand where Malmstein gets it.
And we can't forget Tarot Woman. Just a great song.
The song is absolutely insane!!!
Masterpiece
RICK... I care how long it took to put together this video. I'm MOVED by the performances of you and all your friends for these samples. Watching this is like going to a concert of a artists in a great band (maybe like Led Zeppelin) playing other people's music!
Rick, Don't you forget 😊 3:40 into Simple Minds Don't You Forget About Me. Such a brilliant fill.
Rick, you are the hardest working man on UA-cam !
After Simon whistler
@@kevcthulu4576 Or Linus Tech Tips and all of his related channels. I think there are 4 or 5.
@@LasVegasVocalist I love Linus! But I think the difference here is that... Linus has a whole team behind his content and Rick does and plans his videos all by himself.
hard workingest! :D
i think you mean captain dissillusion. but honoranle mention to Rick
The fill in the middle of 46 & 2. Danny Carey | Tool. Definitely a top pick for me
Madcat amen!
I was sure it was going to be number 1. Phil Collins?! Really?! 👎
@6:35 in Tool's Eulogy, is the best drum breakdown I've ever heard. My brain just scrambles trying to isolate each limb.
Ah yes....the hit the entire kit bit...
And to pick Phil Colins over Peart, or the 46&2 (yes, that actually happened in the song) drum fills. Thumbs down.
This is a masterpiece of a video. between the talent of the musicians and the editing. Love your work have for along time. and Rhett has to be one of the greatest guitar players around.
For such an incredibly subjective topic, this was the best job anyone could have done. Thank you, this brought back a lot of great memories surrounding these songs and fills.
Serious question: how about putting up a Rick Beato's band and do some jams and/or release some tracks every once in a while. You have an incredible line-up over there. Nothing fancy, just half an hour every quarter or so on a live stream. I think it would be cool.
Thumbs up if you like the idea.
Thanks.
Thought of the same!
Love this idea! Please do it. If quarterly is too much for everyone’s schedule and how busy you are, then maybe semiannually?
Please rick. I would love to see you play. X
Glad to see I'm not the only one. Even as a celebration for a milestone or special event, I don't know. It doesn't even to be really on a "regular basis", really.
So that we get a view of the stages production: creative, technical, performance and even business! I hate to use the word but something like a "reality show"... With the Beato style & class, of course...
My mate Dave did the best drum fill EVER when he fell down a flight of stairs carrying his snare drum and sticks. He’d just finished off a bottle of brandy and was getting ready to load up the boogie bus for a gig. The sound was phenomenal! The rest of the band congratulated him on such an astounding performance and asked for an encore (we were gonna film it) For some unknown reason he shouted at us to ‘just fu.k off!’ Still managed to play a great gig AND pull a fit bird afterwards! ROCK N ROLL FOREVER!
COG,Lucius Borich?
Cringe and nobody cares
Rock Hard
sounds very Aussie, or British…you’re more alike than you like to admit but I digress
This was probably one of the best YT comments I have ever read :)
I was hoping that Chicago's Danny Seraphine early work would slip in here somewhere, like MAKE ME SMILE... Super clean and tight always.
Side note: fun to see Vinnie in 1989, I was renting Vinnie's house in Van Nuys at that time, I converted the detached double garage into a practice space with 2 sets, open invite to Vinnie to come hang out. Sadly, he never took me up on it😢
I also grew up with and loved Danny Seraphine's work on Chicago.....this was a great video/compilation but I thought Danny should have been in there somewhere...
Hey Rick!! You forgot some famous drum riffs.
1. Owner of The Lonely Heart-YES
2. Any King Crimson song from Thrax!!,Bill Burford
3. 99 way to leave your lover- Paul Simon,Steve Gadd
4. Walking on the moon-Police,Stewart Copeland
5. Heat of Glass- Blondie
6. Chain-Fleetwood Mac
7.Rock 'n Roll drum fill intro-Led Zep
8. Jack and Diane-John Cougar Mellencamp
9. Soul sacrifice 1969 Woodstock-Carlos Santana
10. Just You 'n Me- Chicago
So here is my top 10 drum fill again you really forgot!! I'm a drummer that love a great drum fill.
Pink Floyd "Time" from The Dark Side of The Moon has a great drum fill intro
ah yes... the greatest drum fill of all time... what I like to call: The Drum Phil.
Great list, Dazed and Confused takes my top spot with In the Air Tonight as a close second
I’ve lived with these fills FOREVER, the Mark Craney ones are SO fun 🎉
The fill from ZZ Top’s La grange (before the chorus) is kinda sick
I was expecting that one too.
Or anything off the Tejas album.
Agreed... was waiting for someone to mention La Grange...Frank Beard
@@dashfentrock the fills in cheap sunglasses are super hot too.
I was just thinking of that song as well.
A few of my personal favorites:
Primus- Southbound Pachyderm (intro)
Rush- By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Queens of the Stone Age- A Song for the Dead (intro)
Devin Townsend- Failure (first verse)
Yes. Very much the Song for the dead intro!
the song for the dead intro was actually a tribute to bill stevensons intro on slip it in by black flag
the QOTSA song is dave grohl on drums >:))
He made this video just before you could formally say that Pneuma is the greatest drum fill. Danny Carey's live performance of that song nevermind the CD is just another level of rhythm and feeling. It's pure energy and anger released in this catharsis of skill and mesmerising noise. The best drums I've heard on any song personally.
John Bonham's *Archilles last stand* fills.2 1/2 minutes in.He does it later too. Also an obscure 80's tune from Kings of the Sun "Drop the gun" 2 minutes 22 seconds in.
Great selection! Some of my favourites:
Black Sabbath - Warpigs (you know which ones!)
Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots (the tom hits that get slower right before the main groove!)
Pink Floyd - Money (Nick Mason going wild on the toms right before the second guitar solo)
Tool - Lateralus (this track has amazing drumming in general, but there are so many different ones to chose from...)
I may be wrong, but i think it was jeff porcaro (Toto) who played the drums in floyd's Money
@@panayotisgoutziomitros1209 No, it was Mason who played most of the drums on Dark Side of the Moon. Gilmour played the drums on the re-recording of the same track for "A Collection of Great Dance Songs". Jeff DID play drums for ''Mother'' on ''The Wall'' Album, perhaps that's the one you were thinking of?
@@whiteninja2006 ahh yes, it was mother, you are right
Honorable mentions for me:
Rock and roll - Led Zep
As I am - Dream Theater
Burn - Deep Purple
Also White Room - Cream
Great video I appreciate your time and hard work you put in to them.
Highly entertaining videos !
I learn so much from them
A perfect circle "Judith" has one of the most amazing, face melting drum fills of all time.
Josh Freese represent!
Or the package
Yes
That's because Josh Freese is so damn good
For those of you that haven't already you should listen to what he did with The Vandals
RIP to the greatest... Neil Peart.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 my hero
I only found out yesterday 😭🙏
Mine too. Gutted.
Shoot all twenty could be from Rush..... IMO.
For Me, all 20 would have been from Rush. YYZ has a bunch of them all contained within one song. La Villa Strangiato contains enough to blow away most of this list.
Very happy that you included She Said She Said from Revolver. Fantastic loose beautiful Ringo drumming on that one.
Great video! You made me focus on how great Ringo's playing is on "She said she said" - very Mitch Mitchell! Awesome video as always. As a matter of personal preference I would have put something by Bruford in there and pretty high on the list (anything, really, but the insanity that is Cinema Show on Seconds Out includes 5 or 6 "greatest fills ever"), and I'd have perhaps picked something else by Phil Collins (any ten seconds from "Dance on a Volcano", or the flowing fill at minute 6:58 of "Musical Box"). Oh and … I want to put together a band with Jack 😄!
I was thinking two things while watching this video: How difficult it must have been to make, and how talented this team is. Damn. You never disappoint.
My Top Ten: All the drum fills in “War Pigs” 🤟
On both the Black Sabbath and Faith No More versions
Ward is a beast
And The Wizard.
My top five metal albums: The first five Black Sabbath albums.
What about rat salad
Totally agree on number one fill, but Ian Paice has some of the greatest fills you ever hear. Many of the drummers on you top 20 actually have a lot of great fills to choose from.
Yes. For example "Burn" studio version.
I've got to say I like it when you and the studio musicians play the snippet better than having the snippet played by the artist. We can always look up the artist on yt... but your playing is real and we appreciate it.
Mel Gaynor in Simple Minds “Don’t You Forget about Me “ has always been special for me. Maybe not in the Pantheon of rock but still memorable.
Perfectly suited to the song.
Definitely memorable and I would include Mark Brzezicki from big country too. In a big country, song of my teens
Agreed! 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes!!! I also commented about Gaynor's massive snare/high-hat pick-up into the final "la-la-la's". I wasn't confident that anyone else would be bringing it up.
Yes! Fills that really stick out. You wait for them to arrive. Always loved the Gaynor fill.
One of my favorite drum fills is the one Dave Grohl plays right before No One Knows' chorus by Queens of the Stone Age
Great pick
Awesome fill. 👌
@@MrOtistetrax yes man! Song for the dead has also one of the best drum openings. Just WOW
Yep was thinking of that song as well
there are so many good drum fills outside... alone tool have more than 20 or black sabbath, iron maiden and co... so it is nearly impossible to make a ranking for all the music on earth...^^
i love this video and you managed to just absolutely flex the hell out of how much of a great musician you are. 100/10 man
Great video! That kick on #3 sounds amazing! Also…as a drummer, this inspires a different list 🤪
There’s a fill in the outro of the Police’s Message in a bottle that gives me goosebumps every time i hear it and play it. Stewart Copeland is an insane drummer! 😱
I was surprised he didn't crack the top 20 here
how beato overlooked this song defies comprehension. copeland's fills throughout the whole song are great, but that final minute is wonderful. the almost banal chorusing of "sending out an sos" while copeland and summers colour it in day-glo is sublime.
@@hankrango105 I think Beato would agree with you that he missed that one! Clearly should have been in top 10 territory.
And No Time This Time - relentless fills.
One of the great things about Phil Collins’ drum fills is that he often “leaves out” the crash cymbals where you expect them at the end of the fills. It creates more tension, I think, because our ears are expecting that crashing release and it’s not there. I think the song “Mama” doesn’t have a crash cymbal until towards the very end of the song.
Also, love Phil Collins’ shuffle-y feel. I can listen to the intro to “There’s Something Going On” by Frida on a loop for a long time.
Collins' lack of cymbals is due to Peter Gabriel not liking them blaring in his ears when they performed.
zibbybone Gabriel had nothing to do with any of the songs mentioned.
I absolutely appreciate all the hard work you put into this video, Rick. Well done to Jack as well as the entire team.
I know of a fill that would have been epic for this countdown and that is the song-
“Desperate Cry” by Sepultura. It has lots of fills in it but the one most insane fill is in the last part of the song. I swear he must be doing a complete 360° turn on his seat 😂. Oh and he still manages to hit the cymbals as he goes around lol 🤣🤣🤣.
