Ten Songs that Influenced My Drumming

I was recently asked to contribute to a book by S.W. Lauden focused on punk drumming and was asked to write about ten songs that were memorable to learn and influenced my playing over the years. These are the ten songs that I wrote about.

Rifle! R.I.P. Derrick

[@jmentone]

Rifle is fantastic. The whole Hoss album is .

[@CoboProdz]

Boy is it ever. What a time in music. Fist album I knew by them.

[@markhardycreative]

0:43 straight to tony hawks skateboarding after hearing that again. What a great selection

[@Jones-eq4bs]

impeccable taste. RIP Derrick

[@vvlvmusic]

Aww man, shoutout to my fav BR drummer!

[@psymson]

All my fave punk bands I saw live when I was a punk guitarist but now getting into drumming. Again inspirational

[@PunkerWithABoner]

Jord is such a baller, I'm a little bit surprised to not see Bill Stevenson

[@Kee23383]

Or even yuri from mxpx

[@misfit2022]

I couldn’t have a top 10 which didn’t feature Byron McMackin but good to see Derek Plourde in there. I really liked his playing on Rock the Plank by Mad Caddies and he made Ludwig cool again.

[@generaldisarayhk]

Some great songs on this list with amazing drummers. Who wouldn't be influenced by that, great job. 👏

[@arthuroliveira4326]

The best punk drummer in UA-cam.

[@s.w.lauden]

Your essay is fantastic...and so is this video! Thrilled to have you in this collection.

[@HolySmokesTheSquire]

I would have been personally offended if Derrick didn't make your list!! But rifle is also my favourite Lagwagon song so solid choice there. Hands down most underappreciated punk drummer, his death was a tragic loss for the genre.

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

It would have been downright _shocking_ if Derrick Plourde hadn't made the list. Kye's obviously as big a fan of Lagwagon as his own entire fanbase probably is.

[@yourlastday8706]

So awesome! Derrick Plourde 👍🏻

[@esukyd2328]

Injection and You are two of my favorite songs!!!!

[@thiccbasscovers]

This is awesome!

[@marcosb9167]

[@slapnut825]

[@christianpaez2624]

[@QuickC.]

Please do a system of a down drum chronology! That would be so sick!

[@bigbudgaming9839]

[@epiczeven6378]

Welcome to paradise, that´s a nostalgia punch!

[@HollywoodSnob_]

[@benjaminkingaus]

[@roni6135]

[@SmithKarnt]

[@erwindetomaspinter3538]

Anyway i would like to play like you , incredibile tecnique (hand and kick ) and fantastic speed

[@YeOldeKamikaze]

Right on! I felt like a giggly little girl when "Injection" came on. Some hasty beats going on as well.
I know punk drumming is not about virtuosity and precission but rather about having a blast, but damn, to anyone who says "punk drumming is for lazy, uneducated people" I say "but can you play it cleanly AND with feeling at the same time?" haha

[@SmallvillenerdTwo]

yeah right because everyday I'm hearing people say "punk drumming is for lazy, uneducated people" 🙃

[@danielsilvadesouza3060]

My favorite drum part from Brandon Barnes is The Unraveling.
Love those drums there...

[@Iloveblink182]

You should do a rise against discography video 🥁 Brandon is so good.

[@wahtdookie]

Your drumming is fantastic

[@arturmirreyes7254]

[@CoboProdz]

[@erwindetomaspinter3538]

Josh freese with I’ve got an ape drape or it’s a fact ? Rodrigo from Satanic surfers when he played sunshine day ? Kjelle from NFAA in Master Celebrator ? Derrick also in Mr Coffee or in bye for now? Sean sellers from Good riddance in firtle Fields ? Last but not least Jon Sortland from Cigar in The album speed is relative ?

[@asmrbynature3057]

[@nouseforaname4266]

[@sm_4859]

[@BigOlEmery]

[@whileistaysecluded]

Damn you have some good fkn taste in music man.

[@paul_bellini]

We listened to the same shit growing up. Even Frenzal Rhomb.

[@felipebatista2458]

By the end I can see Steve Caballero doing a grind.

[@jefftennis1275]

Night Letters though!

[@arrolate]

Do a chronology of System Of A Down please

[@mluckymedrano]

Anybody got any tips for trying to improve their endurance for fast punk songs? I would say for a drummer I’m somewhere between an amateur and intermediate skill level if that helps

[@alvinbreadcrumbsh]

[@antisocialite927]

What album is that redhead on the skateboard from

[@johnmccain3337]

Lagwagon let’s talk about feelings. He does a cover of May 16 off that album. Solid album with current drummer Dave Raun. Wish he would cover some RKL.

[@jasonanton3149]
