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 RUclips completely. If they didn't, Universal Music Group would sue them. RUclips isn't perfect, but UMG are serious assholes. They'll sue over "Happy Birthday".
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.
1. Sunday bloody Sunday (U2) 2. Money for nothing (Dire Straits) 3. The Trooper (Iron Maiden) 4. Sympathy for the Devil ( The Rolling Stones) 5. Ziggy Stardust ( David Bowie)
@@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 RUclips!!! BOOOOOO!!! YAAAAAYY BOOOOO!!!!!
1. YYZ - Rush - Moving Pictures - Neil Peart 2. Down and Out - Genesis - And Then There Were Three - Phil Collins 3. I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow - The Last of the Mohicans - Devin Beamon
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
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".
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
Replace the first one with Carcass - Corporeal Jigsore Quandary, from where Trivium essentially lifted the whole thing.... There's inspiration, then there's that.
So glad you mentioned Bonham for this old Hippie. Personally, When The Levee Breaks is the intro that stands out for me. Martin Chambers opening Middle of The Road/The Pretenders is like a brain worm, too.
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
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
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" :)
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.
Hello. #1 We Will Rock You, by Queen. Like it's the most iconic drum intro of all time, across all countries and all languages. A universal chant on drums. Even aliens from other planets know and beat to this one. Also, the most played song of all time with every sport playing it every game for decades. But, I agree, #2 Hot for Teacher, by Van Halen is the coolest intro of all time. Love that Harley Davidson motorcycle sound! #3 Regatta de Blanc, by The Police. A hidden fast tapping treasure of off beats!
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
@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? 🤣
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.
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 🤘😎
Not in any particular order, but the ones that always get me steering wheel drumming when they start playin are; 1. When the Levee Breaks - Led Zepplin 2. Ticks and Leaches - Tool 3. No Excuses - Alice in Chains 4. Rx Queen - Deftones 5. Song for the Dead - QotSA
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
The iconic “intro” you mention is not an intro, it is a great fill in the peak of the song. An intro is in the beginning of the song. I agree is a great drum song!
My top 5: 1) Rosanna - Toto 2) Hot for Teacher - Van Halen 3) Take the Money and Run - Steve Miller Band 4) Money for Nothing - Dire Straits 5) Come Together - The Beatles
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
For what's it worth here, my list: 1)Harvester of Sorrow - Metallica. From the album ...And Justice for all, this drum-guitar combining intro sets the pace of the rest of the song. Ullrich supports the guitar riff with a melodic beat on the drums and giving it a really heavy sound. 2)Davidian - Machine Head. Mentioned earlier here, drummer Kontos starts the heavy wall of sound in your face. 3)Pull me under - Dream Theater. Portnoys drum riff adds an extra melodic part of an already melodic intro. 4) The way you make me feel - Michael Jackson. Don't know if the drum intro is a drum machine or a real human behind electronic drums, but together with stereo mixing, it quickly draws your attention to this old hit 5)Down with the sickness - Disturbed. Already mentioned here and as you see, I like it when drums are not only an supporting role for the rhythm but also have a role in the melody. This intro list completes that, only the Michael Jackson song is an exception...
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.
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.
1-Dire Straits - Money for nothing 2-Rainbow - Stargazer 3-Iron Maiden - Where eagles dare 4-Sepultura - Territory 5-Dimmu Borgir - Behind the curtains of night Phantasmagoria me dejo muchas muy épicas...
For me out of THIS list 3: Toxicity (such a cool arrangement) 2: Hot for Teacher (motorcycle…that’s it it’s a bike lol) Number 1: THIS ISSSS THE PAINKILLAAAA AHHHHHHHHHHHHH it’s fucking epic, not a single person over 25 doesn’t recognize that intro even if they don’t know the song they know that intro
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 :)
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 - Angra - Make Believe 2 - The Beatles - Come Together (it is more complex than the way you played) 3 - Megadeth - Trust 4 - Gun's and Roses - You Could Be Mine 5 - Judas Priest - Painkiller
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
@@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
No particular order Money for nothing - dire straits Phantom of the opera - Iron maiden Hot for teacher - Van Halen Holy wars - Megadeth Rosanna- toto Scream aim fire - Bullet for my valentine Bulls on parade - RATM Is this love - Whitesnake Let there be rock - AC/DC Forever now - Cold Chisel Run to the hills - Iron Maiden Blue Monday - New order Get a life - Pennywise Bit eclectic, some chill some more intense haha
My list would be: 1. Painkiller 2. Hot for teacher 3. Stargazer by Rainbow (shocked you didn't include that one) 4. Fireball by Deep purple (shocked again) 5. Eyeless I couldn't just pick 3 I'm sorry😅. Continue to play drums as amazingly as you always do and keep up the content.
1. Painkiller 2. Chop Suey 3. Eyeless And fourth I want to add the intro to "not the American average", just feel like it's another one of those extremely iconic metal intros
Take the Money and Run - Steve Miller Band(always loved this simple intro) Longview - Green Day Rust in Peace - Megadeth Some of the very few intros that impacted my drumming journey.
Nobody has mentioned Anthem by Rush so I will. Killer intro, and even better considering it’s the intro track of the first Rush album with Neil so it serves as an intro to Neil.
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.
My top 3: 1. Painkiller by Scott Travis Simple one 2: Whole Lotta Rosie by Phil Rudd 3. The Trooper by Nicko McBrian just for 4 and 5 4. Overkill by Mikkey Dee 5. Played-A-Live by Safri Duo and on same place: Invincible Shield by Scott Travis
Just off the top of my head, my 5 (couldn't do just 3) favourite drum intros: 1. Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass 2. Blink 182 - Violence 3. Joy Division - She's Lost Control 4. Interpol - PDA 5. Smashing Pumpkins - Geek USA
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)
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
Nothing will ever top Painkiller for me. I get goosebumps ever single time I hear it without fail, the production, the sheer weight of it. And you of course nailed it.
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!
So I’m not a drummer. Just a metalhead who loves hearing drums and watching your videos, but I always loved the drum intro to “Trust” by Megadeth. It was the first song I heard on the radio from Megadeth when I was in middle school, and I fell in love with that band. They are still my favorite band of all time to this day. So that drum intro was the most influential to me.
1. “Were the eagles dare” Iron Maiden 2. “Painkiller” Judas Priest 3. “Hot for the teacher” Van Halen 4. “Territory” Sepultura 5. “You could be mine” Guns n’ Roses
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.
@@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
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
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
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'm no drummer (I "played" about 2 years), but I just love drums and those are my fav drum intros in no particular order: Dire Straits - Money for Nothing Carcass - Corporal Jigsore Quandry Sepultura - Territory Guns'n'Roses - You could be mine SOAD - Toxicity Much love! ❤🙏
You're truly amazing! I'd love to see you play and break down some drum intros from the Spin Doctors....odd time signatures, funk/jazz involved, accents and musicality over the kit. Love those guys
#1 Hot for teacher - Van Halen #2 Money for nothing - Dire Straits #3 Guardians of the earth - Sepultura (Alternate Audio Version - Quadra Master Track)
Honestly, I pick as you do! Almost... 1 hot for teacher. 2 painkiller. 3 come together Thx for this video and sharing with us your skills. You physical abilities are outstanding but what impresses me the most is your mental ability with the instrument and then underneath all the technical dexterity you can flat out rock
My top 3 intros : 1. Money for Nothing - Dires Strait 2. Painkiller - Judas Priest 3. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (very simple but so unique and iconic)
Underrated easy ones that are epic and take basically no skills 1- Deftones - My Own Summer 2- A Perfect Circle - Judith 3- Comeback Kid - Wake Up the Dead 4- Fear Factory - Dog Day Sunrise 5- Paramore - That's What You Get (Literally just a flam, but a tasteful one LOL)
I love that you picked "My Own Summer". The fact that a single kick drum followed by a flam can start the song in my head just proves how fucking amazing it is.
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

And what about Phil Collins in the air tonight
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 RUclips completely. If they didn't, Universal Music Group would sue them. RUclips 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 :)
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
1. Sunday bloody Sunday (U2)
2. Money for nothing (Dire Straits)
3. The Trooper (Iron Maiden)
4. Sympathy for the Devil ( The Rolling Stones)
5. Ziggy Stardust ( David Bowie)
The Trooper and Ziggy?
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
1) songs for the dead
2) hot for teacher
3) The grudge- tool
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 RUclips!!! 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 Theater - 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
1. YYZ - Rush - Moving Pictures - Neil Peart
2. Down and Out - Genesis - And Then There Were Three - Phil Collins
3. I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow - The Last of the Mohicans - Devin Beamon
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".
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 RUclips 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.
@@bruce949 this is what Graham has said in interviews, so probably right
#1: We're An American Band - Grand Funk Railroad
#2: When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin
#3: Rosanna - Toto
Rosanna, this! ✌️
When Levee Breaks is legendary.. dark, heavy.. slow… magnificent
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!
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!
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
5. Motorbreath - Metallica
4. Song for the dead - qotsa
3. Eyeless - slipknot
2. When the levee breaks - Led Zeppelin
1. Hot for teacher - Van Halen
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
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
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
So glad you mentioned Bonham for this old Hippie. Personally, When The Levee Breaks is the intro that stands out for me. Martin Chambers opening Middle of The Road/The Pretenders is like a brain worm, too.
Levy is my #3(see above)
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
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?
@minimaltrace Not going to argue with you, but I think you're conflating best with popular.
@@minimaltrace
If you played drums and picked Sunday over Bullet as U2's best intro, I wouldn't hire you.
Lack of discernment.....
My top 3
1. Judas Priest - Painkiller
2. Judas Priest - Exciter
3. Iron Maiden - Run to the hills
Tasty picks!
Such a beautiful drumkit my friend. You are a treasure within our drumming community. So talented, yet so humble and giving. We love you mate!
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
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. 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?
Totally acceptable
@@1610F??? Territory is Igor, I always thought...
3 isn't drums 😂

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

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
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? 🤣
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.
Can’t have a drum intro video without talking about Rush’s Spirit Of Radio 👌🏻
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

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. 50 ways to leave your lover - Steve Gadd
2. Rosanna - Jeff Porcaro
3. Fireball - Ian Paice
Yes, needs to be some shuffle on the list
Steve Gadd = GOAT
Your other two choices are great too.
instantly thought of fireball, it was overlooked
I'm a drummer. Named my puppy Rosanna and we call her Rosie for short.
Not in any particular order, but the ones that always get me steering wheel drumming when they start playin are;
1. When the Levee Breaks - Led Zepplin
2. Ticks and Leaches - Tool
3. No Excuses - Alice in Chains
4. Rx Queen - Deftones
5. Song for the Dead - QotSA
Gotta love some Abe cunningham
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
In the Air doesn’t “start” the song tho…it’s in the middle
🤦
The iconic “intro” you mention is not an intro, it is a great fill in the peak of the song. An intro is in the beginning of the song. I agree is a great drum song!
Yep
Word!
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
@@mybrotherjames8579 I would’ve also said Cali Soca or Let the Cards Fall but… only 3 🤣
Swap digital bath for rx queen
Good list! Midlife Crisis - Faith No More, I am One - Pumpkins, Trip Away - Jane’s Addition
Nice picks my guy!
Milife Crisis for sure!
My top 5:
1) Rosanna - Toto
2) Hot for Teacher - Van Halen
3) Take the Money and Run - Steve Miller Band
4) Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
5) Come Together - The Beatles
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
1) Sepultura - Ratamatahatta
2) Led Zeppelin - Good times bad times
3) System of a Down - Chop Suey
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 what's it worth here, my list:
1)Harvester of Sorrow - Metallica. From the album ...And Justice for all, this drum-guitar combining intro sets the pace of the rest of the song. Ullrich supports the guitar riff with a melodic beat on the drums and giving it a really heavy sound.
2)Davidian - Machine Head. Mentioned earlier here, drummer Kontos starts the heavy wall of sound in your face.
3)Pull me under - Dream Theater. Portnoys drum riff adds an extra melodic part of an already melodic intro.
4) The way you make me feel - Michael Jackson. Don't know if the drum intro is a drum machine or a real human behind electronic drums, but together with stereo mixing, it quickly draws your attention to this old hit
5)Down with the sickness - Disturbed. Already mentioned here and as you see, I like it when drums are not only an supporting role for the rhythm but also have a role in the melody. This intro list completes that, only the Michael Jackson song is an exception...
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.
The idea of the echo for kick was actually from Jimmy Page.
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" ?* 🥁🔥
1-Dire Straits - Money for nothing
2-Rainbow - Stargazer
3-Iron Maiden - Where eagles dare
4-Sepultura - Territory
5-Dimmu Borgir - Behind the curtains of night Phantasmagoria
me dejo muchas muy épicas...
For me out of THIS list
3: Toxicity (such a cool arrangement)
2: Hot for Teacher (motorcycle…that’s it it’s a bike lol)
Number 1: THIS ISSSS THE PAINKILLAAAA AHHHHHHHHHHHHH it’s fucking epic, not a single person over 25 doesn’t recognize that intro even if they don’t know the song they know that intro
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 :)
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.
1 - Angra - Make Believe
2 - The Beatles - Come Together (it is more complex than the way you played)
3 - Megadeth - Trust
4 - Gun's and Roses - You Could Be Mine
5 - Judas Priest - Painkiller
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
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.....
He did say it was intros "he has played", not ever. But I do agree that he should check out Tool and Disturbed.
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
1) Aerosmith - Walk this way
2) Iron Maiden - Where eagles dare
3) Deep Purple - Fireball
4) Rainbow - Stargazer
5) Ozzy Osbourne - Over the mountain

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! 😊
I would definitely say Rosanna over africa
THE SPIRIT OF RADIO!!
50 ways was my warmup on Bourbon street for years
My list would be:
1. Painkiller
2. Hot for teacher
3. Stargazer by Rainbow (shocked you didn't include that one)
4. Fireball by Deep purple (shocked again)
5. Eyeless
I couldn't just pick 3 I'm sorry😅. Continue to play drums as amazingly as you always do and keep up the content.
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
1. Painkiller
2. Chop Suey
3. Eyeless
And fourth I want to add the intro to "not the American average", just feel like it's another one of those extremely iconic metal intros
Take the Money and Run - Steve Miller Band(always loved this simple intro)
Longview - Green Day
Rust in Peace - Megadeth
Some of the very few intros that impacted my drumming journey.
You just reminded me of one of my top favorites, "I ain't the one" Lynyrd Skynrd
Something catchy about that intro
Nobody has mentioned Anthem by Rush so I will. Killer intro, and even better considering it’s the intro track of the first Rush album with Neil so it serves as an intro to Neil.
I would pick that one as well but it isn't just a drum intro, it's the whole band. He means just drums.
because Neil Peart is highly overrated.
@@TeamGreenC14 You're overrated.
@@ArchStanton19966 cry harder, Arch.
@@TeamGreenC14 Sounds like someone is jealous.
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
I'm a drummer newbie and it seems to me like you have 4 arms and 4 legs. Like a spider. It's unbelievable how you do that.
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.
My top 3:
1. Painkiller by Scott Travis
Simple one 2: Whole Lotta Rosie by Phil Rudd
3. The Trooper by Nicko McBrian
just for 4 and 5
4. Overkill by Mikkey Dee
5. Played-A-Live by Safri Duo and on same place: Invincible Shield by Scott Travis
Jelly Belly - Smashing Pumpkins
Geek USA - Smashing Pumpkins
Violence - Blink 182
Always - Blink 182
There there - Radiohead
Just off the top of my head, my 5 (couldn't do just 3) favourite drum intros:
1. Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass
2. Blink 182 - Violence
3. Joy Division - She's Lost Control
4. Interpol - PDA
5. Smashing Pumpkins - Geek USA
1) Where Eagles Dare-
Iron Maiden
2) Stargazer-
Rainbow
3) Over The Mountain-
Ozzy Osbourne
4) Primal Concrete Sledge-
Pantera
5) Rosanna- Toto
"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. 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.
Come Together, Moby Dick, Message in a Bottle, Money for Nothing, A Certain Romance, Toxicity are all some of my favourite drum openings
Which Message in a Bottle?
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
1: Hot for Teacher
2:Toxicity
3:My Hero - Foo Fighters (such a good intro)
Nothing will ever top Painkiller for me. I get goosebumps ever single time I hear it without fail, the production, the sheer weight of it. And you of course nailed it.
agreed. it has so much power that you can't just sit still, you have to go nuts when you hear it
Hope you make this a series. There is so many more amazing drum intros that I'd love to see you play and break down.
Territory - Sepultura
6 o'clock - Dream Theater
Hard Wired - Dave Weckl Band
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
Excellent choices! My soul leaps to those memories as soon as my ears catch the rhythms
Gone Away should definitely be on some drum list somewhere. Simple but so cool.
So I’m not a drummer. Just a metalhead who loves hearing drums and watching your videos, but I always loved the drum intro to “Trust” by Megadeth. It was the first song I heard on the radio from Megadeth when I was in middle school, and I fell in love with that band. They are still my favorite band of all time to this day. So that drum intro was the most influential to me.
Agree! My first metal single tape was Skin o my teeth, perfect drum intro! Deth has so many perfect drum intros that it is hard to pick one.
That song absolutely SLAPS on a good car stereo with a sub. Those toms sound so perfect.
1. “Were the eagles dare” Iron Maiden
2. “Painkiller” Judas Priest
3. “Hot for the teacher” Van Halen
4. “Territory” Sepultura
5. “You could be mine” Guns n’ Roses
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
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
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
1. nirvana
2. van halen
3. blur

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)

SOAD - Toxicity

You're truly amazing! I'd love to see you play and break down some drum intros from the Spin Doctors....odd time signatures, funk/jazz involved, accents and musicality over the kit. Love those guys
1) El perro -Attaque77
2) 13 steps to nowhere -Pantera
3) One little victory -Rush
Vinnie Paul was a tasty drummer! love his work
Finally someone has 1 little victory in their list!

3) La Grange - Frank Beard of ZZ Top
honky tonk was my 4th. you know it as soon as you hear it
One of my absolute favorites. 3/4 licks in and you feel the whole of the song
#1 Hot for teacher - Van Halen
#2 Money for nothing - Dire Straits
#3 Guardians of the earth - Sepultura (Alternate Audio Version - Quadra Master Track)
Honestly, I pick as you do! Almost... 1 hot for teacher. 2 painkiller. 3 come together
Thx for this video and sharing with us your skills. You physical abilities are outstanding but what impresses me the most is your mental ability with the instrument and then underneath all the technical dexterity you can flat out rock
My top 3 intros :
1. Money for Nothing - Dires Strait
2. Painkiller - Judas Priest
3. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (very simple but so unique and iconic)
Digital Bath - Deftones
yessir
Agreed
Yes brother 😍😍😍
Couldn’t believe there wasn’t a deftones song on here
Stargazer by rainbow
Let the music play by Barry White
Metalingus by alterbridge
Well, here's my top 3 (and I'm a bass player):
1) Ticks and Leeches - TOOL
2) Tommy the Cat - Primus
3) Territory - Sepultura
Underrated easy ones that are epic and take basically no skills
1- Deftones - My Own Summer
2- A Perfect Circle - Judith
3- Comeback Kid - Wake Up the Dead
4- Fear Factory - Dog Day Sunrise
5- Paramore - That's What You Get (Literally just a flam, but a tasteful one LOL)
Oh man, you said fear factory. I'll have to change my list now 😂😅
My own summer? Dude Digital Bath is better
I love that you picked "My Own Summer". The fact that a single kick drum followed by a flam can start the song in my head just proves how fucking amazing it is.
@@heisenberg1788 "Digital Bath" is an entire groove and it's super iconic, however I agree with "My Own Summer".
Hole in the Earth
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
Couldn't agree more about "Hot for Teacher" !!!
You are amazing brother, a man that can mimic a drum machine is insanity!
