Good songs with great drumming?

[JonWormwood]

I'm trying to up my programming skills and need some more examples to study.

I downloaded one of metalhead28's songs to study a bit more and it's helping me understand the concept a little better.

Any suggestions?

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

Some stuff I like.

Arch Enemy - Enemy Within
Behemoth - Demigod
Lamb of God - Now You've Got Something To Die For
August Burns Red - The Blinding Light
Shadows Fall - The Light That Blinds (ha!)
Machine Head - Aesthetics of Hate
Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama

 

[Arjen W.]

Wreath or Deliverance by Opeth.

 

[GuitarHack]

I don't know if you are just referring to songs with programmed drums, but if you aren't, here's one:

Chimaira - "No Reason to live" 2min30s - 2min53s.

Program that one accurately and you are doing well.

I have watched the DVD with Andols tracking that part so many times and still love it. I can't believe the other bandmembers sitting there looking bored as he rips that out.

 

[jesterroot4]

everything you love - chimaira
the noose - a perfect circle
theres loads man i dunno

 

[Jackal_Strain]

If you're looking for fill, check out ruin by Lamb of God. the fill during the break near the end is just insane!

 

[Pman]

Cynic - Textures
this will really test your abilities!

Get both albums by Burning Inside featuring Richard Christy. (Actually I think there is a 3rd out this year but I haven't heard it yet)

Psycroptic - Scepter of the Ancients and Symbols of Failures

Anything featuring Virgil Donati - Planet X, On the Virg, etc.


Those are the tops for me, along with hundreds of others, they just popped into my head first.


By the way dude, I didn't forget about the midi files. I've had alot of work to do on the new house before I can get my workstation back together. Soon, grasshopper.

 

[chuck1703]

Any of these bands,

Origin
Grimefield
dimmu - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Behemoth
Demak (John on drums from Origin)
Vital Remains
Hate Eternal
etc

 

[chuck1703]

What are you talking about, dude? That is the same guy, and yes, he destroys the drums.

 

[Metaltastic]

Sound of Perseverance HOLY GOD.....

 

[STINNETT]

Sound of Perseverance HOLY GOD.....

Have you heard Eve of the Entities by Burning Inside?
As an album it doesn't hold a candle to Sound of Perseverance, but it is an even better example of Richard's over the top drumming.
Plus the snare sound is killer.

 

[Metaltastic]

I've never even heard of Burning Inside actually, but I'll check it out, cuz I have a hard time imagining RC could top the solo in the intro of "To Forgive is to Suffer!"

 

[Unavailable]

Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor. Mmm, Van Williams.

Heres a link to a sample found on Richard Christy's website:

I was always impressed by the drumming on:

Meshuggah's Contradictions Collapse (for the complexity but also not overdoing it)
Slayer's Reign in Blood & Seasons in the Abyss (for solid thrash playing)
Confessor's Condemned (for weird off-timey stuff)
At the Gates' Slaughter of the Soul (for its simplicity) & The Red in the Sky is Ours (for its complexity)
can't go wrong with Master of Puppets either - Lars did some cool stuff back then if you ask me; cymbols where you wouldn't expect them, snare rolls in odd but cool places
Prong's Beg to Differ is a good example of just plain & simple solid drumming
