Best Drum Leads
I am thinking about putting together a compilation CD for my listening pleasure and I would like all the tunes to have one thing in common: the lead instrument must be the drums.
I can think of 2 songs off the top of my head that I would want to include:
1. Soundgarden's "Jesus Christ Pose" from the BadMotorFinger album (Man, this guy knows how to punish those skins! )
2. Miles Davis and Gil Evans' "Gone" from the Porgy and Bess album.
These are 2 very different songs but that doesn't matter to me--in fact, I would like to have a best drum leads collection disc that has all sorts of different types of music represented. I'm looking for tunes that have the drums as lead, not merely a great drum solo in the middle of the piece (although depending on the length of the solo I might consider it ).
So all you music freaks, get your thinking caps on, forget about guitars, horns and vocals, and let me know what you think the best drum lead songs are!

Shogun's track Slipstream, remixed by Technical Itch.
Bad Company: Pressure Drop
Dieselboy: Render
Facs: Capture
Teebee: pretty much anything
and one of my all time fav's: ncode: spasm
just kidding.
Rush - YYZ (I think there are other instruments on this song but I never hear them. All I hear are Neil Peart's sticks )
Oh don't worry, I'll find some more...
That man just oozed groove. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
<strong>Drums solos are great. Perfect time to go get snacks and use the bathroom during concerts.</strong><hr></blockquote>

I got bigger rolling eyes than you!
I was making a joke. Even though it IS true. Myself being a guitar player. .I like hearing guitar playing. But people go and get drinks and use the bathroom during those too.
Any pointers on the best place to sample these tunes? Since Napster has disappeared where is the best place to find stuff like this?
<strong>Great suggestions guys!

I made tons more like that sugar tits
Spindler, I don't get the "Hard Day's Night" thing, though. What do you mean? I hear lots of cymbals and a cow bell. Is that what you mean?
"Ticket to Ride" has a pretty cool drum thing. Kinda lopsided and sputtering during the verses. By the way, that was Paul's idea.
I guess Ringo took his fair share of direction from the others, huh?
"Teen Beat" by Sandy Nelson. A total oldie, but it's very cool. Probably early-mid 60's, I imagine.
I had it on some oldies compilation record YEARS ago when I was a little boy (actually, it was my mom's, but I listened to it more than she did) and I haven't heard it in years then one day, I noticed Mark & Brian were using it for background music on one of the repeating segments on their radio show. So now I hear it once a day.
And you can't forget "Wipe Out" by the Safaris. That's THE lead drum song.
Mapigator is an ok napster replacement, though it's a bit too Top40 to find rarer stuff
