21 Great Drum Intros

August 22, 2014 Alan Cross 2 Comments Drum Intros, John Bonham

An interesting list by Music Radar.com. But I disagree with the pick of Led Zepellin’s “Rock and Roll” over “When the Levee Breaks.” And although I tried to think of a Rush song with a naked Neil Peart intro, I couldn’t. Help?

Never really thought about the drums before, but Spin Doctors’ Two Princes was a subtle and good inclusion!
