Hey guys! Remember that I need you to write your top 3 drum intros on the comments!
The goal of this video would be to try and find common ground on this subject, lets see what your list looks like, we'll take the most liked one as the TRUTH!
Also, sorry if there are any mistakes or songs that i left out. i tried to learn all of them on my trip to Meinl Cymbals so i really couldn't practice them
properly!
Don't forget to leave a like and some comments if you want to help the bearded guy!
You KNOW Slipknot was gonna be in there!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1. Foreplay / Long time by Boston
2. Money for nothing
3. Hot for teacher
imo.
My 3
Hot for Teacher
Rock n Roll
Eyeless
Hard to just pick 3.
You're amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕💕
Ghost of a chance - Rush
Rush - Mystic Rhythms
He played toxicity so perfect, that the youtube's algorithm catch it like the oryginal song and muted it for breaking copyright
yeah, i was wondering what was happening with teh audio for a tick
Yeah, it's pretty impressive. It also helps that it's so drum-heavy at the beginning.
In this case, you can't really blame TH-cam completely. If they didn't, Universal Music Group would sue them. TH-cam isn't perfect, but UMG are serious assholes. They'll sue over "Happy Birthday".
Oooooh, so THAT's why... now I have to dig up that song so I can give my opinion.
Screw you algorithm! You don't own the sound from an instrument!
oh 5h1t.... thought the video was faulty when I first encountered dead sound (nothing)
1 - Territory - Sepultura
2 - You Could Be Mine - Guns N' Roses
3 - Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden
Good call on those. Had forgotten about GnR You Could Be Mine… epic intro.
Was going to post Where Eagles Dare - awesome intro. 🤘
Rocket Queen from GNR is also great!
I agree with your number 2. I also picked it.
_Where Eagles Dare_ was the first that came to mind :)
1- My Hero
2- (sic)
3- Sunday Bloody Sunday
Definitely my hero
Great picks!
Sic is such a good pic!
Good choices.
I feel so validated after seeing My Hero so high
Deep Purple - Pictures of Home has a cool drum intro and is a pretty underrated Deep Purple song
Also Death - Scavenger of Human Sorrow. Richard Christy had such a wild and crazy style on that album :)
YT muted Toxicity. Boooo. Boo YT, Boo.
Some songs cost money for royalty
That wasn't what youtube used to be about. It was free expression. Not corporate ads
@@notmehere. Royalty is the ability to use _the_ song. It has nothing to do with covers or snippets used for transformative purposes
(Kermit the frog pops up around the lawyer)
BUT MOSTLY BOO TH-cam!!! BOOOOOO!!! YAAAAAYY BOOOOO!!!!!
I thought my earphone was broken.
I thought as well that my phone automatically connected to a distant Bluetooth box
Some from the prog rock/metal scene:
3. Dream Thrater - 6:00
2. Tool - Ticks & Leeches
1. Rush - YYZ
I was surprised that there we no Rush songs... YYZ!
Honor Thy Father - DT was on my mind this whole video
@@millersonline There are a lot of fantastic drummers omitted. Stewart Copeland is one of my favorites who happens to be absent, too!
I Will Remember - Toto also has an almost familiar intro, especially with the floor tom sound
Sober - Tool
@@damelyngdoh2370 yes it does!! I remember that from when I listened to that tool song lol. Toto are amazing
When the Levee Breaks. All time, but just as much about the production and tone as Bonham’s groove. No matter how well you play that, it just won’t compare.
1-Territory Sepultura 2-in bloom Nivarna 3-Cherub rock smashing pumkings
Came here to say Territory.
Damn straight at Territory.
1) Van Halen-Hot for teacher
2) Dire Straits-Money for nothing
3) Judas Priest-Painkiller
4) Queens of the Stone age-Song for the Dead
That was exactly what i thought
1) song for the dead
2) hot for teacher
3) blue Monday
Agreed.
Why Go - Pearl Jam
When The Levee Breaks - Led Zep
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon
Stargazer by Rainbow - Cozy Powell's intro to that is legendary!
Couldn't believe that it wasn't in the video
Yessss
Rainbow is very underrated
How is Stargazer not on here?
It’s the definition of a game changer!
Not necessarily top 3 but just ones that stick with me:
1. Rush - Limelight
2. Tool - Jambi
3. Disturbed - Down with the Sickness
4. Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching
5. Deftones - Combat
bro jambi is the coolest
Yes, I clicked this link to see if Down With The Sickness was in the list.
But it's too bad.
Dang it forgot about ants marching when I did mine
i would switch jambi for the pot. jambi has better drums overall, but the pot's intro.....
You are truly one of the greatest drummers ever, you not only went to rock, to metal, but you went to electronic music , that is something to appreciate your list is accurate cheers from Mexico
Fun fact:The intro for Song 2 had two drum tracks. One was played by drummer Dave Rowntree and the other was by guitarist Graham Coxon.
W pfp
I heard it was one track, but Graham was behind Dave playing the tom on the kit at the same time.
I think it was two kits. Graham talks about it in one of his TH-cam guest slots - either That Pedal Show or Produce Like a Pro.
I never get tired of hearing this fact. Every time I hear that song I imagine the drummer kicking into the beat while someone leans over his shoulder with another drumstick.
I have no idea how Danny Carey missed this list. Ticks and Leeches drum intro gives me goosebumps still to this day
Most definitely killer intro 🥁🔥
Maybe because his intros are usually the whole track itself xD
Because Danny isn't a drum intro. There are no humans on this list.
@@austin4xare u ok?
@evankeen1245 I dunno. When I read the words, "top 20 drum intros ever," I think of drum intros, from songs, and they're usually sounds like boom boom kick crash tick. You hear names? Are YOU ok? 🤣
Painkiller is one of those songs where you can recognize the intro just on the first five hits.
Same as scavenger of humon sorrow by death
So many to list but a few faves:
50 ways, The Almighty - Crucify, Wooden Jesus, Jimi Hendrix - Fire, but the one I always come back to, and it’s only 3 seconds long: Overkill - Thanx for Nothing!
1. Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden
2. Stargazer - Rainbow
3. Rock n' Roll - Led Zeppelin
4. Pictures of Home - Deep Purple
5. Take the Money and Run - Steve Miller
ABSOLUTLY...Where Eagles Dare MUST BE on that list.
Superstition - Stevie Wonder
Hot For Teacher - Van Halen
Classic rock kinda guy huh
I love that you threw rainbow in there. Underrated.
usted si sabe
1. Digital Man - Rush - Neil Peart
2. In a Big Country - Big Country - Mark Brzezicki
3. Ticks & Leeches - Tool - Danny Carey
Nothing Danny Carey plays is basic... But it is epic.
Ticks & Leeches ! Yes, totally agree.
Digital man my all time fave fill.
Big Country’s long intro is exceptional and overlooked for sure.
I like Mark Brzezicki's drumming. Besides Big Country he's been on several of Pete Townshend's solo albums, and he also did one of the solos and the outro in "Under A Raging Moon".
Drum intros that I loved to play in high school…. The Offspring has so many; “Gott get away”, “Come out and play “ and “ Gone away”
Unforgettable great tunes!
We always would whip out come out and play at high school basketball games. The tune was way popular at the time and the other kids would go bananas
Holy Wars - Megadeth
Always loved that one.
Your selection though is bangin'. Absolutely great choices.
Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 is one I think should've been on the list. Mullen's military style drumming that represents the gunshots I feel really lays the feel of song. Also, this is more of a personal one, but I really like Ian Paice's intro in Smoke on the Water. The roll on the hi-hats and then the addition of the snare I feel builds upon Blackmore's riff spectacularly and is integral in creating a hard rock classic.
Agreed on Sunday Bloody Sunday. The way Mullen took that militaristic beat and turned it into a groove with meaning was amazing.
one of the best drum intros for one of the best songs ever. It was also the first song I immediately thought of when I saw the title
@@marcwilke2521 Same here
1. Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr - Trivium
2. Painkiller - Judas Priest
3. Art of Dying - Gojira
4. Beast and the Harlot - A7X
5. Fall into your Hands - Trivium
I know, the most are simple but i love them
Or "Scream, Aim, Fire"
Replace the first one with Carcass - Corporeal Jigsore Quandary, from where Trivium essentially lifted the whole thing.... There's inspiration, then there's that.
The Art of Dying is pure epicness
@@cd0u50c9 no way i replace it, Pull Harder was the Song made me playing drums
Yes, how could I forget Super Mario
What a fun video. Thanks for sharing! A lot of new ones for me.
Some favorites, in no particular order:
- Rush - Animate (live was much better than the studio version)
- Genesis - Behind The Lines/Duke's End - they mirror each other to open and close the album Duke
- Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore
While I always love watching Estepario videos for technical virtuosity, this was the first time for me hearing his more of his analysis and opinions in his song breakdowns. Absolutely loved it.
Good Times Bad Times- Led Zeppelin
YYZ- Rush
Song For the Dead- QOTSA
Wooden Jesus- Temple of the Dog
You pretty much got all my favs. A pleasure watching you interpret correctly. Love those chops, man.
Definitely YYZ
A few interesting intros -
Alice In Chains : no excuses
Power Station : some like it hot.
Shelia E. : the glamorous life
The police : walking on the moon
Bob Dylan : lay lady lay.
Duran Duran : Rio 🤗
Not (necessarily) the most complex but memorable imo and each sets up the songs nicely.
“No Excuses” was one of the first that came to my mind, too.
A man of culture 🍷
Lay Lady Lay love that one good choice
Screw intros...... No Excuses is one of the best songs written on drums
Did not go through any of the comments before putting my list.
But no excuses Alice In Chains and Stewart Copeland. Nothing else to say
For me, the most iconic drum intro by far :
In the air tonight - phil Collins.
It's not the hardest, or very technical, but everyone will know after the first hit on the drum and it was the sound track of that decade
My top 3 list (in no particular order)
1. Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt by Mars Volta
2. The Coma Machine by Between The Buried & Me
3. Is a tie between Dragon and Crumbling Castle by King Gizzard
You have good taste, my friend
Bullet the Blue Sky - U2 - defenitely a signature intro! Love that one, great sound and it sounds so wiiiiide open. Brilliant!
I was thinking Sunday Bloody Sunday, but after I saw your post, BTBS is a better pick from U2
And what about Gloria?
1. Raining blood - Slayer
2. Territory - Sepultura
3. Hot for teacher - Van Halen
1000%
Nothing from Dave Lombardo or Igor Cavalera and then Blink 182? Van Halen? Really?
I love this idea! In no particular order, mine are:
- Flashlight (Parliament)
- All Along the Watchtower (the Jimi Hendrix version)
- When the Levee Breaks
Perfect list.
That particular Manowar song that some might feel is missing from this list, is just pure drumming for way longer than an intro.
Gojira - The art of dying
Death - Flattening of Emotions
Rainbow - Stargazer
by the way if we can leave the rock/metal world, listen to the first 3 minutes of Autechre's LCC, it's insane, and around 2:30-3:15 it gets completely out of this world
Respect for picking "Good Times Bad Times" for the Bonham into. The intro to the first song on the first Led Zeppelin album. That first song changed rock and roll forever. And if you go just a few bars in you get the first Bonham triplets, which is also part of his legend. Just awesome.
They're actually sixteenth notes, but he plays them in a triplet pattern (the famous Bonham triplets in their earliest form). If you're interested, Drumeo's video on JB has the charts for this intro and a few others.
Hot For Teacher is the first drum intro I think of on almost a weekly basis. It literally lives rent free in my head.
First off thanks for this video and your others I love em and I watch as much as I can. As far as my favorite drum intro, it's john Bonham for me with, when the levee breaks. Only john had that old school revolutionary rhythm and feel. Love to see your take on it.
Nice I love how you point out that everyone can play it but very few can write it. And thats what shows me the true talent of musicians !!!
for blurs song 2, The song also featured two drum kits, with Dave Rowntree and Graham Coxon both banging on the drums simultaneously, so what you're hearing is two drummers playing :) and as for eyeless, it was actually sid doing the DnB intro, he used an old drum n bass track called "ease yourself" by a group called "the collective" :)
Yes 👍🏻
yea man. excellent input
Yo that's awesome about blur! I never knew that
The drum beat intro is the amen break
I saw the title and immediately tought "song for the dead". You didn't disappoint 🙂. Great intros are musical.
Tool - Ticks and Leeches is one of my favorites and took me long to learn…
Gracias por tus videos! 🫶🏼 Me inspiran siempre 🙌🏻
1. Walk This Way - Aerosmith
2. Trust - Megadeth
3. Sunday Morning - Maroon 5
4. Easy Lover - Philip Bailey
5. Motorbreath - Metallica
This would be my most memorable drum intro. Really inspiring me to write songs in such fashions.
Rosanna....
Not "Inna Goda Davida" (Ron Bushy) or "Hawaii Five-O" (Mel Taylor)?
Painkiller !!!!!!
Polarris is way better than Trust and so underrated.
Oh yes, Collins on Easy Lover!
1) Rock´n´Roll - John Bonham
2) Fireball - Ian Paice
3) Rosanna - Jeff Porcaro
4) Dance With The Devil - Cozy Powell
5) Don´t Bring Me Down - Bev Bevan
💯
Rosanna is so tasty... Jeff was a pocket genius
Cozy is so under appreciated.. star gazer has an awesome drum into and Dio just goes off at the end..
cozy intro #2 relatively unknown sabbath song Heaven in black
The most recognizable ones for me (there are so many):
1) Sunday Bloody Sunday
2) 50 ways to leave your lover
3) Rock ‘n Roll
4) I don’t care anymore
5) Billy Jean
50w and billie Jean- legendary
Was that Rossana in the end??
Any way, my picks for most iconic / influential intros:
Top fav: Take five, Dave Brubeck with Joe Morello on drums
2. Pneuma, Tool with drums by Danny Carey
3. We're not gonna take it, Twisted Sister, AJ Pero
4. Walk this way, Aerosmith, with Joey Kramer
and the easiest simplest most iconic os them all
5. We will rock you, Queen, where everyone is percussion!!!
For me, Davidian by Machine Head is the best drum intro of all time - it blew me away the first time I heard it and I still love it to this day. What a way to open an album!
I also love Pure Hatred by Chimaira as a drum intro but nothing will ever match the power of Davidian for me.
Yes! I thought of both of those songs specifically. I also love the intro to Deftones / Around the Fur.
Totally agreed! I just asked for Davidian in the comments before I read your comment.
Chris kontos was a phenomenal drummer especially for that time
AND best outro too 🙏
*What about MACHINE HEAD's "Imperium" ?* 🥁🔥
My top 3
1. Judas Priest - Painkiller
2. Judas Priest - Exciter
3. Iron Maiden - Run to the hills
Tasty picks!
When the Levee Breaks, Led Zeppelin
Lust for Life, Iggy Pop
YYZ, Rush
You started off with my with my all time favorite percussion intro, songs for the dead, QotSA.
Just wanted to throw some love Carcass' way for the drum intro to Corporal Jigsore Quandary. Not super complicated, but it's a phenomenal display of how drums shape the groove and drive a song forward.
Song for the Deaf also contains the drum intro of Slip It In by Black Flag.
1 Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies; the song is so linear but the intro moves away from forward.
2 Stranded in the Jungle - NY Dolls; it sounds like you're stranded in a jungle
3 Rock & Roll part 2 - Gary Glitter; the drums are hypnotizing.
Cheers
1) painkiller
2) eyeless
3) the bongo song played a live
eyeless is legendary
Eyeless is a god-tier drum intro.
Thanks for this man! I would add "Come Out and Play" by Offspring, too. Classic 🤘. My list: Basket Case, Hot for Teacher and People of The Sun. Love those tunes 😊
my #1 favorite intro ive ever learned on drums and im so happy it was featured and others think alike Hot for Teacher!
Couldn't agree more about "Hot for Teacher" !!!
You are amazing brother, a man that can mimic a drum machine is insanity!
1. 50 ways to leave your lover
2. Africa
3. The Spirit of radio
finally the right one on number one
Oh yeah! How could we leave out 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover! Steve Gadd is Godd! 😊
Africa lol
I would definitely say Rosanna over africa
THE SPIRIT OF RADIO!!
drum intros that always drive me nuts every time i hear it:
1. 13 STEPS TO NOWHERE by pantera (the best)
2. killing fields by slayer
3. territory by sepultura
4. painkiller by judas priest
5. stargazer by rainbow
yes i like double pedal, this looks like a metal edition but is what comes to mind right now. i took the ones that starts only with drums, in my opinion this is mastermind
King Diamond - "Welcome home" has a beautiful drum intro :)
1) 6 o’clock Dream Theater
2) Honor thy Father Dream Theater
3) Nightmare Avenged Sevenfold
Love dream theater..❤
Definitely 6 o clock!!!
You like Portnoy
I wouldn't say nightmare as much as chapter 4 or welcome to the family
Holy crap we have two of the same on our lists. I think that means we need to hang out
If I may, I'm going to choose some quite different between them that are not on the list you've played and came up top of my head (I'd probably come up with others that I like more if I think about it a little more time).
- Come Out And Play by The Offspring
- Down with the Sickness - Disturbed
- A tu Lado by La Renga (Hard Rock argentinian band I think you should listen to if you've never heard of it).
If I have to stick to the list you've used:
- Painkiller
- Toxicity
- Maniac
I cried so much after your tribute to Joey I had to stop watching. I'm guessing there's The Rev's footwork after this, I'll check tomorrow. Thank you, man.
My top 3
1. Honor Thy Father - Dream Theater. Mike Portnoy is absolutely amazing.
2. Beast and the Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold. Love that drum intro all the way up to the verse start.
3. Paradise City - Gun 'n' Roses. So simple. Once you hear that kick and snare. You know what youre in for
I don't get why more people don't say Paradise City, its goddamn iconic!
@gabagool_ovahere it's probably because the guitar part. That's also pretty recognizable
My top three:
311- Transistor
Deftones- Digital Bath
Rush- Spirit of the Radio
Chad Sexton!
👍🏼😎👍🏼
For 311 I’d go feels so good or f the bs.
nobody ever mentions digital bath and for me it's one of the raddest grooves ever. once you kow how to pla it, youll never forgert it
Spirit!!!
@@mybrotherjames8579 I would’ve also said Cali Soca or Let the Cards Fall but… only 3 🤣
Dude hearing around the fur open with Tom snare hit on my own summer made me buy a drum set
Abe is a beast and one of absolute favorites.
Can't argue with Hot For Teacher. Here are some more 'drums-only' intros I'd add to the list:
1. Over The Mountain - Ozzy
2. Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden
3. I Don't Care Anymore - Phil Collins
4. 50 Ways To Leave your Lover - Paul Simon
5. Welcome to The Club - Vandenberg (deep cut)
I always liked intro to Sunday bloody Sunday by U2. The characteristic sound of those drums is pulling your attention from the start
dream theater - awaaaaake cd beginning (6am)
3) Honor Thy Father - Dream Theater
2) The Alien - Dream Theater
1) 6 o'clock - Dream Theater
Honorable mention: YYZ - Rush
Hola querido Estepario, I miss Rossanna by TOTO on your lineup. This song alone has an epic drum intro that I believe anyone who hears it recognizes Jeff Porcaro's amazing shuffle ability, with all those ghost notes on the HH. Love your work Un abrazo cariñoso desde Chile.
My "atypical" drum intro list:
1- Fireball - Deep Purple
2- YYZ - Rush
3- We are an American band - Grand Funk Railroad
4- Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
5- For whom the bell tools - Metallica
Good list
Omfg yes to Grand funk
Fireball definitely✌️
Fireball was the song that made me want to be a drummer. Hearing that at 10 years old was life changing for me.
+1 Don Brewer, Grand Funk American Band
Great choice I'd forgotten about but absolutely iconic and instantly recognizable to anyone who's heard it
Heres my pick for 5 faves, in no particular order:
1, Honor Thy Father by Dream Theater, absolutely iconic and kicks the song straight into high gear (honorable mention is The Enemy Inside like wow)
2, My Green Neighbour by Destrage, pretty wacky intro and how it syncs with the guitar is great, enhances that awkward sound of the main riff
3, Art Of Dying by Gojira, basically anything from Gojira could have gone here but the sheer complexity of the groove brings it front
4, The Grudge by Tool, perfectly fits the riff, makes it feel like each note has its own specific part on the kit, neato
5, Ddevil by System Of A Down, love the snare groove followed by cool tom work but getting into the wacky groove of the song.
Theres probably better out there but these have all stuck in my mind pretty well
I always loved 'Trust 'of Megadeath.
So clean, so easy, so consistent!
1: Hot for Teacher
2:Toxicity
3:My Hero - Foo Fighters (such a good intro)
I won't lie, I was expecting Down With the Sickness to be on this list because even if you don't really know the song, or only know it for the memes, the drum intro is very recognizable and sets the tone for the song.
I agree, the moment that drum beat starts, you know exactly what song it is. It's so tribal!
Can you feel that?
It’s not a very good song and a basic intro.
Yep I remember hearing it for the first time and it instantly had me hooked.
@@jblizzard5577 within the first minute of this vid, he says most of these are going to be basic. It's as if you came here specifically to comment and not to watch
1) Song for the Dead (You know who :-))
2) Army of Bono - Clutch (Jean-Paul Gaster on drums)
3) Honey Bucket - Melvins (Dale Crover on drums)
4) Sen Verran Minakin Noita - Korpiklaani (Matti Johansson on drums)
This is my list on which i was growing up and still have wood when heard :-)
3 of my favorites (not because they are especially complex but just iconic and recognizable) are "We're not gonna take it", "Painkiller" and "You could be mine"
My five are:
• Journey - The Party's Over (Hopelessly in Love)
• Foo Fighters - Hero
• Aerosmith - Walk This Way
• Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
• Guns N' Roses - You Could Be Mine
"Welcome Home" - King Diamond.
Everyone knows this is the best drum intro.
You could be mine and In the air tonight are probably most memorable for myself.
Haven't heard that song in a long time! Almost forgot about it Grandmaaaaa!!
Oh shit. I loved that cassette back in the day! Twilight Symphony was like musical theatre for weirdos. What a crazy act.
1/ Toxicity (because of its groove and inventiveness)
2/ Smells like teen spirit (the intro led into what would be the defining groove of a whole decade)
3/ Money For Nothing (my first physical record, I've spent years deconstructing the intro)
Sat in the intro and wondered if Song for the dead would be in there.. Actually don't like the song but that intro is so sick. Painkiller just blew my mind as a kid. Never heard double pedal before. Eyeless was such a trowback to my Jungle raving days. That would be my top 3.
Must admit i'm that one person in the world that never heard Maniac or the pattern/intro before. Ever.. Sounds super cool though
I'd go with :
- Pneuma by Tool (Danny Carey)
- Walk by Pantera (Vinnie Paul)
- Sad but True by Metallica (Lars Ulrich)
I don't think you understood the assignment 😂
Daney Carey is the best drummer ever, and though his antics in Pneuma are legendary, I would not classify it as a great INTRO...
Pneuma intro is out of this world I agree
Pneuma has a great middle but not so much a intro. I had an issue separating that as well hence my number 1 was 2112
@@helderfonseca9926ask him who the professor was lol. I will give you one of the better living drummers. Please do not forget Bozzio, Coapland, Portnoy and many many others. Mind you I love tool
some personal favorites in no particular order:
1. Involuntary Doppelganger - Archspire
2. Physical Education - Animals as Leaders
3. Remnants of the Tortured - Abominable Putridity
4. Hammer Smashed Face - Cannibal Corpse
5. Secrets Within - Car Bomb
Play with me - Extreme
Land of confusion - Genesis
Nowhere to run - Martha and the Vandellas
I heard it through the grapevine - Gladys Knight
Call Me - Blondie
3 songs not mentioned in the video that were top 3 to me:
3. Stargazer - Rainbow
2. Honor Thy Father - Dream Theater
1. We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
From this list:
1. "Song for the Dead"
Very musical, very recognisable and a perfect build-up for the rest of the track.
2. "Good Times, Bad Times"
Brilliant example of how you can use dynamics and accents to spice up your intro.
3. "Blue Monday"
This was hard to pick and "Blue Monday" was not the most technical, the most exotic, the loudest or the weirdest but it was the most memorable.
Good list! Midlife Crisis - Faith No More, I am One - Pumpkins, Trip Away - Jane’s Addition
Nice picks my guy!
I'm not a drummer but here's my first 3 drum intro's : Tom Sawyer - Rush, The heaviest matter of the Universe - Gojira, For whom the bell tolls - Metallica. Not only that I could recognize those intro's even if played by fish at the depths of the sea but they all also pump me and fill my mind and body with positive vibes.
Blur's Song 2 was recorded using 2 drums at once, the drummer played just a 4/4, the second drummer which was the guitarist of the band played the tom's in 4/4
1. Pink Floyd Time (not really an drum intro, but the sound and composition of the drums is just heaven)
2. Iron maiden where eagles dare the whole song is a masterpiece, very different guitars , bruce is in the highs, it is difficult song yet catchy and powerful
3. Sepultura Ratahamatta i love the ethnic groove
Honorable mention:
Blondie Heart of Glass (it is just a patern from roland cr drum machine, but i love it)
Agree on Time, made the same comment, the intro is a masterpiece, not for the difficulty but for the melody
Nick Mason is a percussionist, not just a drummer. That entire album was genius.
Anyone else get a glitch during Toxicity?
Yeah I think TH-cam must have muted the audio during that one specific song for some reason. I’m sure somebody copyright claimed it. I was just happy they didn’t take his whole shit down . How petty to literally go to the trouble to mute the partial audio to one song?
A few seconds of dead silence
@@justincredibal4got your same idea
TH-cam uses Ai to check videos. No Human Thinking involved.,
Copyright’s…..
Definitely agree that Hot for Teacher is number one. Then Smells like Teen Spirit and finally Maniac. Those are my most memorable ones.
I’d have to say Rush - The Spirit of Radio intro is one of my top favorites. There’s nothing super difficult to it but it’s just a great groove to the ears and I believe Neal Peart is one of the best percussionists of all time.

He don't how to play... This is the true 😂😂😂😂
1. You Could Be Mine (every drum intro video seems to ignore it)
2. Honor thy father
3. Down with the sickness
There are so many amazing drum intros out there, but these 3 are just some that aren't in this video, so we definitely need part 2 🤘😎
Honor thy father is underrated I have it as my number 1
You could be mine is so fantastic! Love that song and album.
you right! You could be mine is one of the most iconic drum intros that is not in many lists!
I also put Honor Thy Father on my list. First song that came to mind when I saw this video title.
1) Sepultura - Ratamatahatta
2) Led Zeppelin - Good times bad times
3) System of a Down - Chop Suey
It's hard to choose the best ones but here are just my 3 worth of mentioning:
Infectious Grooves - Violent & Funky
Machine Head - Davidian
Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
Not in a particular order
The Blister Exists - Slipknot (especially that quick bassdrum)
Ratamahatta - Sepultura (I love how primitive it sounds)
and since you spoke about Song for the Dead I'll add
Go With the Flow - Queens of the Stoneage (the intro is basically the riff of the song, it feels like Dave Grohl used every drum pattern in this)
Sooo many awesome drummers and intros, the list could go on for days. Keep on grinding man ❤
Great choices! But I wish you included:
Art of dying - Gojira
6 AM - dream theater
Down with the sickness - disturbed
Art of Dying is my favourite overall intro for a song ever. The building of tension is so crazy
It’s 6 o’ clock by DT 😂
6 AM is amazing
@@rodrigoaguilera445 technically it's just called "6:00" lol not "6 o clock" or "6 AM". They do sing "6 o clock" but technically that's not the song name. But yes haha neither is "6 AM" so I was wrong lol
But it's a Christmas morning so it has to be 6 AM!

One of my favorites has always been, Shortest Straw by metallica. That intro is metal as f***🤘
I also really like the drum intro in Seven Pillars of Wisdom by Sabaton, because of how powerful it is (no shit its a power metal band), and Deceiver, Deceiver by Arch Enemy. It just adds the mysterious build up to the intro of the song itself, and for me even though its the same rhythm thats used in the beginning of the song it just puts me in the FUCK YEAAAAH METAAAAAL mood.
1: John the Fisherman - Primus
2: Cochice - Audioslave
3: Son et Lumiere/Intertiatic Esp - Mars Volta
Excellent list
Nice to see John Theodore from TMV get some love
