Exceptional Drum Parts
Everyone knows that the main basis for music is rhythm. It's drum base can make a mediocre creation great, and a great creation a mediocre one.
Most drum parts are sadly quite 'standard' to the point one would think a basic drum machine was used.
I wish to dedicate this thread to famous music pieces which have an exceptionally good drum part, which not only 'adds' to the music, but is an active part of it.
One group which usually integrates drum beat as the main element of the melody is Metallica, but I wouldn't want to dedicate a thread to them.
I wish to draw attention to Styx - Lady. It has an exceptional drum piece which gives the heart and soul to the music. It is important however to listen to the original recording from the late 70s, since the new version (circa 1995?) though somewhat better in quality, is very much lacking a good drum setup and performance.
conclusion: listen to the original recording of "lady" with a good set of speakers, and notice how unlike in most songs, where you hear 2, maybe 3 differet drums, you can hear a whole drum symphony.
