Do Top 20 Mistakes Left In The Mix!
That’s a damn good video idea. Hell yeah.
Immediately thought of "Woooman" with lots of reverb (in whole lotta love)
That’s actually a great idea.
Great idea!!!
Oh yeah
When thinking groove, one song comes to mind.
"Superstition"
Stevie Wonder
Becks, boegarts and appice version is way groovier in my opinion!
Read my mind
There you go, Mr. Beato!
Video: Best/grooviest songs of all time!
You said it.
@@brendenheil Definitely cool but Stevie made it immortal.
David Bowie’s “Fame” and War’s “Low Rider” are two other infectious grooves that come to mind!
One thing about "Low Rider" is you have the drums, but you also have the guy who is playing the cowbell and timbales, so it's two percussionists, but absolutely "Low Rider" belongs way above some of the rather dull grooves in the bottom 10.
yes yes yes and good fucking call...can i get a "the force " by Michael Jackson too
I always considered Mick Fleetwood’s drum groove on Go Your Own Way to be really inventive!
Gypsy is one I love. So precise.
Only one that comes to mind that you “missed” would be When the Levee Breaks. That groove is immense!
That, or Immigrant Song for a faster (arguably?) equally iconic Bonham groove
add Moby Dick, The Ocean, My Time of Dying, etc.........
Yeah I assumed that’d be number one, first thing that came to mind.
Good Time Bad Times also has a killer groove.
I think When the Levee Breaks was in his top intros (and the intro is the same).
I second that emotion!
The Zep groove I was expecting was "When The Levee Breaks".
I love that one too. Recording it in a stairwell was a brilliant idea.
Immigrant Song for me.
It was on top 20 drum intros. And on the first place.
@@Buddythunder1 Heartbreaker has an incredible FUNK groove. So surprised that's not on here.
me too, i thought that was gonna be #1
"Use Me" is one of the best drum grooves of all time. That song really gives off a special vibe and has the perfect mix of genre.
I’ve always loved the drums on “Good Times, Bad Times”
9:37 I was expecting When The Levee Breaks, it has coolest drum groove of all time
I’m sure I’m late to the party here but “When The Levee Breaks” is the quintessential drum groove in my mind.
That’s the one I was waiting for. That’s got a groove a mile deep.
I was waiting either for that or fool in the rain, I guess one outta two ain’t bad....
Yeah. Big miss IMHO
It is classic. Unique, unforgettable, skull crushingly magnificent! PERFECTION!!!
My #1 pick as well!
Yeah, that and Fool in the Rain are such iconic grooves. A few of these drummers had similar situations…groundbreaking grooves that imspired others. In some ways, Levee is a precursor to many other grooves…but I wonder how much of that is due to the production decision to include a bit of delay in the drum mix.
A few of my favorites are Stevie Wonder's Superstition, Sade's Sweetest Taboo, and Dave Brubek's Take Five.
All fantastic picks. And I’m proud to say (as a prog metal guy) all three are on my iPhone.
I spend a lot of money on CDs.
Tom Sawyer
When I saw this list, first thing that came to mind was “When The Levee Breaks”
Seems citing variations of the Purdie Shuffle is overkill and just one of Purdie’s is enough? However the Porcaro and Bonham grooves are undeniable. “Fool In The Rain’s” groove does go beyond the Purdie groove for a moment
I’m just stoked to hear that Rick has a dedicated video planned for the legendary SRV.
Amen
💯
OH MY OH MY OH MYYY... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
But I hope that turns off his chorus pedal when he does….
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Cream - White Room
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Phil Collins - Take me Home
The Doors - Break On Through to the Other Side
Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave your Lover
I was definitely expecting to see Sunday Bloody Sunday. But I'm also super biased and expect to see something by U2 in every top 10 list lol
Mick Fleetwood - Go your own way
Everybody Wants - one the best grooves ever that sounds so easy to play but is so hard to get right!
@@ffejneznarf Great tune.
The grooves are all good, but Come Together gave me chills down my spine. I think the relative simplicity of it, while being still so recognisable, makes it great. Glory to Ringo.
gotta be played left handed to work proper though.
@@paulunwin4033 oooh...good point
IMO, Come Together is the most recognizable.
Jeff Porcaro was the epitome of 'Groove'...21 years of a session career solidifies Jeff as my #1 all time for groove.
His work with Warren Zevon is tight.
"NIghttime in the Switching Yard" for a hard-driving drumming. See also from the first Toto Album, "Hold the Line".
@@bruceinoz8002 ALSO, 'Calling Elvis' (Dire Straits). 'I DON'T Hear You' (Boz) contains a wicked fill!!!
He played on an 1988 album by a Scottish band by the name of Love and Money. The album is called ''Strange Kind of Love'' and was produced n USA by Gary Katz who produced Steely Dan. It is a very fine record and they were touted to do great things but it never happened. But the drum sounds and playing on that record are both magnificent. The songs are straighforward and he just keeps it simple (well it sounds simple). Nevertheless, the drums are a real focal point of that album. I must've listened to it 100 times and marvelled at the assured playing before someone told me the original drummer went home and they flew Porcaro in for the whole album. It sounds so fresh and timeless even now. On the subject of groove the title track is worth a 5 mins of anyone's time. Axis of Love is great too.
Joe Morello on “take five” may be one of the best of all time and inspired many drummers.
I came here to mention Morello 🙂. Take Five is a classic but I have to show some love for Blue Rondo A La Turk.
@@markpowell7395 Not to dismiss Morello's drumming on this one but Blue Rondo a la Turk is more of a piece in unison rather than the drum groove standing out in my opinion.
@@trustnugget280 Yes, I can appreciate and agree with that. I just thought the 9/8 timing was worth a mention.
That was on my mind. Great stuff!!!!!
And not only that, Raggy Walts, Far More Blue, Bossanova USA, etc etc. one of my favorite drummers.
For distinctive grooves that launch the song, I’d add:
“Take 5”
“Sweetest Taboo”
Sade! Man of culture.
Yes
Sweetest taboo is the probably the best polyrythmic intro I've ever heard.. and it lasts for like 2 minutes into the verse and hook until it goes into the snare on the back beat for just a bit. That whole cd grooves way more than it deserves to and I love it
I wasn't thinking of Take 5 watching this video but now I'm baffled it's not on the list. A number of John Bonham grooves could be on the list but I guess the unwritten rule is just 1 groove per drummer.
Sade has about a half dozen worthy of the list.
I think Neil Peart's signature groove deserves a spot on this list. I'm talking about the one he used in YYZ, La Villa Strangiato and The Spirit of Radio, among others.
They are more compound time signatures than grooves
Also, Red Barchetta, in which, towards the end, he uses his same signature groove and so many cool other ones
We should acknowledge the In Bloom intro fill/groove is actually written by Nirvana's OG drummer, Chad Channing. Grohl even mentioned this on the band's Hall of Fame induction speech.
And Grohl tells Pharrell he ripped his flam fills from funk: gap band, cameo
@@julesbeckman all our favorite musicians ripped off their ideas from somewhere, it's nothing new.
I was so sure Superstition was going to be on here.😂
Same. And credit would've had to go to Jeff Beck.
That slushy hi hat!
@@guitarforumdude actually, it was played by Wonder
@@guitarforumdude It was played by Stevie Wonder!
@@Guitarista1992 @Graham Downey Jeff beck played the drum groove in a session with Stevie wonder which led to Wonder jamming with a beck and he wrote superstition and gave the the song to Jeff beck as a gift.
John Densmores bossanova beat on 'Break On Through' is iconic
Agree. This song is a killer
LA Woman (song) has a killing groove too
Especially given how many iconic grooves he created, feels like one should have been on the list, and "Break" would be an excellent choice.
@@cpking7 I love The Doors and he's my fave drummer. I spent so many hours playing to their stuff. He's got a style all his own and keeps things tight, simple and interesting.
"Sunday bloody sunday" (U2 - Larry Mullen) drum groove was very iconic and peculiar too, maybe it could be on the list.
Another mention for a personal favourite: "Got to give it up" by Thin Lizzy, drummer is Brian Downey.
Stevie Wonder - Superstition, Led Zeppelin - Good Times, Bad Times (more iconic than Fool in the Rain), ZZ Top - La Grange, all songs that should be on the list. Also "What is Hip" by Tower of Power has one of the most iconic funk grooves ever. "Suck my Kiss" by RHCP is iconic
John Densmore’s opening groove on the Door’s “Break on Through”!
Bossa nova brilliance!
I was waiting for that one too😄
Also Peace Frog
I LOVE the drums and guitar on 'Moonlight Drive'.
An amazing band. Aside from the Lizard King, one rock's greatest frontmen, the three musicians; Ray, John and Robbie are/were exceptionally talented.
“Take Five” is definitely on my list!
Anything by Joe Morello deserves to be in this list!
So I'm not the only one that has posted about the lack of the Take 5.
I always thought that was a cute title and a cool song.
I vote for "Take 5"
There was only one song in 5/4 on this list and as Rick said, it was the only "odd-time" groove on the list.
Certainly a worthy contender.
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart. I just love the simple, but effective syncopation of the snare on the 8th and 16th bars.
Awesome top 20! I've always loved the groove in The Screaming Trees 'Nearly Lost You'.
"Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs. Drummer is, who else.. Jeff Porcaro
YES!
Yes. Double hi-hats on that one. One is an overdub.
Hell yeah
I love that song and that Toto drummer.I never knew that.
Nice call
Phil Collins on drums in Frida’s “Something’s Going On”. The simple drum riff drives the song....Killer.
YES
Just checked it out. Yup 👍🏽
I never put it together that that was Phil Collins. But I just listened to it, and it is so clearly and uniquely Phil Collins. Reminds me a lot of his drums in "Why Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore"
Chester Thompson's amazing groove on Phil Collins' Take me Home should be included here.
“Waiting on the world to change” has a drum groove that is definitely over looked and it’s insanely groovy. Steve Jordan Is wild
Slow and powerful, one of a kind: Rush: Tom Sawyer
There’s a definite “feel” to that one for sure. I loved the way they could switch the style so cleanly, but always come back to that opening groove and feel. Wish I was planning for tickets to their next tour…😑
Yeah. Big Miss Rick
My first thought❗️
...yeah, I think I know why Rick didn't add any Neil groves to the list.. and its fine, I like the list!... but I don't think Rush is known for this... Had Rick being a nerd like some of us, the list would have looked totally different, with many Neil, Bonham, and Moon entries... Neil being the Howard Roark of them all.
@@brendonelton can't believe I'm even responding to you as this post wasn't even worth reading let alone responding to....
The groove in Stevie Wonder’s Superstition is iconic.
@Jeff Schell Agreed, I came here to say exactly this!
PLayed by stevie ...
That drum groove is the song!
I was sure it would be in there!
Should be on the list. Stevie is an amazing drummer.
One of my favorite "groovers" is the first guy that comes to mind when somebody asks me about underrated drummers: Brian Downey from Thin Lizzy. The whole "Live and Dangerous" album is an entire library of tasteful, classic hard rock grooving.
His drum fills in Bad Reputation, nothing but stupendous!!!!
"Jphnny The Fox" has a massive groove. Actually Brian Downey had a million of 'em
Bill Withers, Use Me Up had my head moving. What a grove!!
One of my favorite iconic drum grooves is the drum groove on The Sweetest Taboo by Sade!
Yes! I wouldn’t have thought of Sade but they could have had several songs on here
That's a VERY good call. Iconic groove and soooo tasty and appropriate. Totally different music but the same can be said for Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus
I think “When the Levee breaks” at least deserves an honorable mention IMO
I would put it at number 1.
Oh, yes. Much better than 20
Literally my first thought when I read the video title. I was very surprised it didn't even get a mention.
It got number 1 for drum intros I believe
I assumed it was going to be number 1
Great as always!
Rosanna and Fool in the Rain are some of the best grooves and fills ever
That story Ringo Starr told about John Lennon playing him a recording of a band and telling him I want you to play the drums like that and Ringo replied but John that’s two drummer and John responded don’t let that stop you.
What song was it?
@@davidpanzer1166 don’t know.
@@alexbowman7582 would be interesting 😀
Mitch Mitchell's loose jazzy feel is just what that group needed.
Thank you Rick for the top 20 drum grooves excellent job playing guitar bass and keyboards and narrating this excellent video
Great stuff Rick!!!!!
For “In Bloom” Chad Channing wrote the drum parts, but Dave recorded them for the Nevermind version
Also, the big fills during the intro of “In Bloom” are in the ending of “When The Levee Breaks”
@@GoAndPractice for real?
@@GoAndPractice huh?
But the video doesn’t even play the groove for In Bloom.
@@patrickj7009 2:42 #17
When it comes to Led Zeppelin, I think the groove in "The Ocean" is beyond iconic.
There are so many. Good Times Bad Times, Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, Dazed and Confused, How Many More Times, Achilles Last Stand just from the top of my head.
Edit: Forgot Kashmir.
Definitely!
When I read "Top 20 Drum Grooves", a half-dozen Led Zeppelin grooves went through my head at once.
+1 on The Ocean
💯
I just love to watch Your videos. I play drums myself and learn so much from You. Keep up the good work, U’re the Cat !!! Cheers from Warsaw, Poland
“What a Fool Believes” is my favorite. Also great piano intro as well
Here are some of my faves:
"Come Together" - Ringo
"Walking On the Moon" - Stewart Copeland
"Watching the Detectives" - Pete Thomas
"Roundabout" - Bill Bruford
Zappa's "Muffin Man" - Terry Bozio
"Walk Away" or "Sunday Bloody Sunday" - Larry Mullen Jr.
"What Is Hip" - David Garibaldi
The first groove that came to my mind was Ringo Starr's from Ticket To Ride
Cool beat and great sounding kit!
Glad you mentioned Cold Shot. Double Trouble was such a good band, and Chris Layton, Tommy Shannon, and Reese Wynans deserve a lot of credit
Cold shot, sure but I wished lovestruck baby would’ve made the cut here as I think it stands out better
“Footsteps In The Dark” has to be a contender for No. 1
Oh, man...that smooth guitar by Ernie Isley.
I'd add: "Take the Money and Run," " She Said, She Said," "Billie Jean," and my number 1, "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." Great list, Rick.
Yes 50 ways!
I always thought "She Said, She Said" was some of Ringo's best playing. Almost jazzy sounding.
‘Billie Jean’ came to kind too but maybe wrong genre. Don’t think I’ve heard him ever mention an MJ track.
A few that come to mind after seeing your list:
'Behind the Wall of Sleep' - Black Sabbath
'Suck My Kiss' - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
'Wicked Garden' - Stone Temple Pilots
This one might not be that special, but I love jamming to it, 'State of Love and Trust' - Pearl Jam
'More Than a Feeling' - Boston
Lastly, 'Trampled Under Foot' - Led Zeppelin
the lack of Chad Smith in this video is disappointing
I'd also submit that "Soul to Squeeze" has a killer drum groove.
That Wall of Sleep groove blew me away the first time I heard that album. So killer!
Hand of doom too. Bill ward gets overlooked wrongly in my opinion
Most days "Trampled Under Foot" is my fav Zeppelin song.
I always enjoy Rick's brilliant and illuminating presentations! Think Keith Moon deserved an entry in this list though!
Wow! Great choice. I totaly agree with all of them! Well done Rick
Rick Marotta’s groove on Steely Dan’s Peg has been in my bones since I was a kid.
Alas, I watched the whole thing thinking, “it’s gotta be next!” Lol
The “Neil Peart” groove, like in Spirit of Radio and other Rush songs. Also Jesus Christ Pose from Sound Garden. Sick.
I totally agree! YYZ, La Villa so on
Available Light!
The Spirit of Radio/YYZ/Subdivisions groove. Absolutely.
You won't find an awful lot of Neil in Rick's videos. Some.....but not a lot.
The Spirit of Radio groove DRIVES that song so much, expected it to be on here. Cool list though love the genre variety.
Rick, very well thought out list. I think you accomplished your goal with the influential angle. Well done..!
Another great list. Rick!
I was hoping to hear When the Levee Breaks or Tomorrow Never Knows
When the Levee Breaks is probably the most sampled drum recording of all time. Definitely deserved a top 5 spot.
You read my mind
@@ZiPolishHammer i was expecting it at 1
Tomorrow never knows is a great one
Definitely those.
Matt Cameron “spoonman” the breakdown groove is sooo good!
I was hoping to see some SG on this list. Cameron was easily the best drummer of the big Seattle bands, and he rarely gets recognized for it. Burden In My Hand has an enormous drum groove
One of my favorite drummers! Definitely a big influence on my playing.
I was thinking Jesus Christ Pose could fit this list too.
Off the top of my head, Omar Hakim's uptempo shuffle groove on Sting's 'Shadow's in the Rain' , Terry Bozzio's "Copeland-ish" less-is-more reggae groove on Jeff Beck's 'Behind the Veil', Bill Bruford's stiff, yet flowing 4/4 groove on Genesis' live 'Cinema Show' (Seconds Out) , Will Calhoun's funky groove on Living Colour's "Funny Vibe", and Phil Collins' slick 7/8 groove on 'Firth of Fifth' are but a few of my favs.
great, Purdie´s shuffle is the best! Love what Boham and Porcaro did too.
A lot of great ones here. A few I was hoping to see. Sunday Bloody Sunday - Larry Mullen Jr., Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears, Turn it on again - Phil Collins/Genesis, Tom Sawyer - Neil Peart.
'Sunday, Bloody Sunday' and also (I think?!) 'Bullet The Blue Sky' were included in the '20 Drum Intros' video, though 🙂
@@woocifer - Finally someone who uses 'base' in the right context! 😀 I so often notice "base guitar" or "base drum" in comments, even on actual bass-related channels! And I agree: Phil Collins had drummed some great stuff, too! 🙂
I’m so glad you picked “Fool In The Rain”, I think that is my personal favorite Led Zeppelin drum groove.
As a drummer, I agree
There are so many Bonzo grooves that could be on this list : Black Dog is such a great groove against the odd melody. For Your Love, The Crunge, The Rover, Sick Again, Kashmir, and on and on and on. Basically every one. All Hail John Bonham.
Bonzo triplets!!
Four Sticks.
Hammer of the gods!
@@ryanjones4150 Total amateur but finally, after breaking it down note by note and sticking with it for months, got that groove down. Felt amazing.
@@cvn6555
Yeah the ghost notes are a killer to get right.
The samba in the middle is also pretty hard.
Some others I know are already mentioned, 50 ways, Superstition, and Billie Jean.
Kudos to your drummer re-creating the sound, the feel, and esp pulling off Eulogy smoothly. That ain’t easy!
1) Yuval Gabay w/Soul Coughing the song is Idiot Kings from Irresistible Bliss. 2) Omar Hakim, w/Sting, the song is Shadows in the Rain from the Blue Turtles. 3) Bernard Purdie again with Josie. 4) Vinnie C. again w/Sting Don't Know Nothin Bout Me from Ten Summoners Tales. 5) Steve Gadd - 50 ways. Nice clip Rick.
Virtually any Yuval groove; he’s a master. Seeing him live with Soul Coughing at Wetlands in 1994 was a seminal experience.
I love the drum groove in Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover".
Good one.
Where's "When the Levee Breaks"? John Bohnam is like a train pushing this song down the tracks..
You beat me to it.
LOVED this video, please do a part 2
Waiting On The World To Change - John Mayer. Drums played by the amazing Steve Jordan. Such a great groove!
There is something hypnotizing about the drums in Cream's "White Room." I don't know if it qualifies as a groove, but those drums are just solid throughout. They may be quite simple, but man does it get me every time.
Ginger Baker got snubbed HARD, dude was so influential. RIP.
Yeah Ginger Baker for sure.
“Walking on the moon” guitar tone was perfect!
Aretha’s “Rock Steady” deserves a mention. Purdie again nailing it.
a video with the word "groove" in the title not featuring Chad Smith is a crime. But that doesn't take away from the great quality!
Message In A Bottle groove is KILLER. Also love what Alan White did on John Lennon's Instant Karma.
Alan White is killer on the Big Generator album (as on most of the other stuff he did).
@@ArbeiterInnenliederhis groove on changes should be on the list
"Superstition," "When the Levee Breaks," "White Room," Paul Revere and the Raiders' "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone," and gotta have something from Bill Ward. Probably "Wasp/Behind the Wall of Sleep."
White Room! yep
Double thumbs up for Mickey Dolenz' Stepping Stone". However, the original track was recorded with studio musicians. At 65 I grew up watching the Monkees and still watch them today.
Superstition, yes! Shouldn't have been, but I was surprised when I first read SW played drums on that track.
"Superstition" and "When the Levee Breaks are intros. "White Room" is definetly a great groove.
Interesting that the Superstition groove was played by Jeff Beck at rehearsal. Stevie Wonder told Jeff to keep playing it and he jammed the keyboard riff and created the song on the spot
Sure there are plenty of grooves that could make this list, and it’s difficult to narrow them down. However, I think you did a great job of picking out some very important and influential grooves!
Yeah, Im not a drummer nor a musician, but have finwly tuned ears and if I had to create my own list without seeing Rick's, there would be a lot of overlap if you compared the two.
Personally, Late in the Evening would be at the top. That song warps my brain whenever I hear it and the groove is to die for!
Saw Herbie Hancock in concert in the 70’s. They started with a 15 minute gourd solo. It was mesmerizing.
Steely Dan - Peg, Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks, Paul Simon - Fifty Ways
Hard agree on all three of those.
Rock n Roll by Led Zep is pretty iconic too
Great list bro!
And the Elton John Band- Nigel Olsson
@@ollcanoe The intro is just the Chuck Berry lick
The drum groove on “up on cripple creek” is great!
YES! Such a fun song.
Oh yeah!
I love The Band!
I second that thought, undeniably a great groove
Levon!
man that bill withers hit strong, gotta love the "soul" like groove man, something in you automatically wants to close your eyes and just feel it
Loved this list
Sean Kinneys drumming from Alice in Chains’ “No Excuses” is a fantastic grove.
I love Sean’s drumming, but I always thought No Excuses sounded pretty close to Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing. Check it out, you’ll see what I mean.
The hi-hat work in this song is great, nice melodic fills as well
I would toss Would? in there or What the Hell Have I
@@greythoundsounds9445 hey I see what you mean. Never noticed that before. I prefer the complexity of “no excuses” though. 👍🏼
@@danbromley3663 for sure, no excuses has the slick hihat and the added complexity, I just remember doing the “wait a minute” and it was actually after hearing Don’t Stop Believing after a long break where I was like No Excuses is like this
I do not know how one could do this list without including "Sing, sing, sing" With Gene Krupa on Drums. :)
You are great, your first 3 grooves, shuffle, are unique and your no 1 of Aja, one of the best album ever, deserved it, "home at last" and no 2 the late Bonham and no 3 the late Jeff Porcaro, always loved this shuffle. So a good choice Rick, Top 20 grooves.
Down & Out by Genesis. Crazy groove and timing by Phil Collins. Honorable mentions to Fountain of Salmacis and Fading Lights.
Down and Out is absolutely nuts
Down and Out....maybe the least likely song ever to dance to.
How about the drum groove from the instrumental passage of Cinema Show? An iconic prog drum groove if ever there was one
This has to be hardest list you’ve ever had to make in terms of what to leave out. HOWEVER… you really needed to include Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover.
Another great Steve Gadd track!
I don't think I've ever heard that before. I'm going to have to check that out.
Edit: I just checked it out. Good suggestion. That is definitely an interesting/cool piece of work.
Steve Gadd is awesome
@@aking8477 there's nothing like it
Someone appreciates Manic Depression as much as I do! That beat is so unique for a verse.
I love that is it is in a waltz time signature
Clive Bunkers groove in the 1969 Jethro Tull song, "Nothing Is Easy, " is very similar. Mitch Mitchell was a great and influential drummer in his time. He did some great work on the Hendrix tune,"Third Stone From The Sun, which appears on the same album as "Manic Depression."
@@FL8mileshigh1 I maintain that the Experience was the world's first fusion band, as much because of Mitchell as Hendrix -- Up From the Skies, Manic Depressions, Third Stone from the Sun, and If 6 was 9 all have heavy jazz influences.
Always such great content! Can we get a top drum BREAKS vid????
As always Rick, informational and entertaining
Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". They make such an incredible groovy pulse with such simple textures, it always blows my mind.
You read my mind.
Jesus Christ Pose anyone ??? That Matt Cameron groove is straight Fire.
Matt Cameron has so many great grooves, such a creative and solid drummer.
Absolutely!
@@movimentodoscacos My Matt pick would be No Attention. When he cuts the tempo in half...fuck!!!!! 😲
The Steve miller fly like an eagle drum part is one of the grooviest I’ve ever heard, with ghost notes going the whole time on the snare, not quite swung, but not quite straight, all that jazz
I was walking home with my dad when he told me about Zigaboo. Fantastic drummer, but the thing I didn’t know was that he’s moving in right across the street from my grandparents. I visit them all the time, so hopefully I’ll get to meet him this year. My grandparents have already met him and told me he’s super nice.
“Run to the Hills” by Iron Maiden, “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie, “Can’t Stop” by RHCP and “Pride (in the name of love)” by U2 are all grooves that have always stood out to me. Not sure if top 20 is fair but they’re honorable mentions in my book.
I actually really like Bullet the Blue Sky or Sunday Bloody Sunday more as far as U2 grooves go........Plus the intro to SBS is SICK!
Great list, but where's the *"Amen Break"* by drummer Gregory Coleman? This groove is so iconic that it actually spawned an entire genre of music!
I was thinking the same thing!!! I love listening to songs and trying to find that beat!!!
Just wrote that before reading your comment. The Amen Break is a break that spawned the Drum n Bass genre, all rap stuff in the 90’s… I mean forget about it
Yeah…i kept thinking, ok now here comes the Amen Break. That omission was probably the most surprising to me. Not sure how many drummers it inspired, but the sample probably ended up on a million tracks!
@@craigberry4051 I totally agree the Amen should have been here. Even if you arbitrarily leave electronic beat-makers out of the "people that were inspired", any drummer that plays DnB was influenced, like Jojo Mayer, Johnny Rabb, Louis Cole, etc.
Well that isn’t a beat that’s used for the whole song though. I’m not sure if it could technically be considered a drum groove by Beato’s standards
Love the Home At Last groove. During the chorus, Purdie also opens the hats for the notes on the third partial of every triplet, and it just feels so good. It's very difficult to keep those little sizzles consistent and light enough that the groove doesn't sound busy.
Frank Beard had some really really great groves in the early days of ZZ Top. He actually used the snare for something more than just whack whack. Snappy Kakkie and Avalon Highway off of Tejas are two of my favs
Tejas in general is a masterclass in drumming
I think it’s a crime to have a list like this and not put la grange in the top 10
