Top Ten Best Drum Songs

Drummers. Fast. Skilled. Incredible. You name it. The SONGS, though, matter. Here are the best.
The Top Ten
1 Eyeless - Slipknot

Joey Jordison is truly my favorite drummer ever. Eyeless is my favorite slipknot song as well, and he is able to keep up some of the fastest beats and creates some of the best base drum patterns I have ever seen. Huge inspiration to my drum playing!

Should really be top of the list, whether or not you like Slipknot this song has the best drumming simply because of the skill and pace involved.

Slipknot definitely, but not sure it is eyeless. I am more sure about scissors or eeyore

Joey Jordison is one of the fastest drummers. He can keep a solid beat, and headbang like crazy at the same time.

2 Your Betrayal - Bullet for My Valentine

I listened to all top10 and I would vote for this! The drum beat is consistent all through out. Bang your head from start to end!

The drummer is ridiculous in this song. If you don't get pumped up listening to the intro, then you aren't human

The bass drum is so fluent throughout the chorus.

3 Moby Dick - Led Zeppelin

Most drummers think there are people who can drum better than Bonham, those people use double bass kick to make crazy beats. Bonham only used one pedal and could go just as fast, which made him awesome

Wow people voting for the arctic monkeys! HORRIBLE! Really those who have voted for them don't know what a drum is... Listen tto Led Zeppelin (John Bonham), The Who (Keith Moon) or The Rush (Neil Peart) and maybe you'll get an idea...

Truly phenomenal footwork there! John bonham was a pioneer of the heel-toe technique. He mastered it in the 1969 song "Good Times Bad Times".

I love drum solos to no end. The sound of the impressive beat blows me away... Which is why this is my 3rd favorite Led Zeppelin song.

4 It Never Ends - Bring Me the Horizon
5 Cold - Axewound
6 Strife - Trivium
7 Pull Harder On the Strings of Your Martyr - Trivium
8 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Fast drums and everything else you need for a song.

Amazing because its Dave Grohl!

Dave Grohl god dammit!

Greatest song ever made

9 Blacken the Cursed Sun - Lamb of God

This and Descending (same band) are some of the best drumming I've ever heard

10 Wrath Upon Ourselves - As I Lay Dying
The Contenders
11 Brianstorm - Arctic Monkeys

Amazing song, drum beat is kept in the sweet spot between complicated and easy while at a fantastic pace!

this song begin so good with drum beat and then Alex turner start his voice and the drum beat slower. At the end the drum beat faster again Ow, it so spectacular!

Definitely the best modern rock song.

12 Ticks and Leeches - Tool

Danny Carey is crazy. He's the kind of drum that with play something and you'll have to think about what he just did because it more than likely advanced Rythmes and odd times

Danny Carey's style is so clean and fast... I've never heard some one playing like him.

Danny is one of the greatest of all time... odd beats, always in time and more creative than mosts

Danny Carey is god... Seriously I think he is.

13 Hot for Teacher - Van Halen

Have you ever heard I drum kit sound like a car? Well this solo does it!

The fact that this is under a bunch of metalcore songs is just odd.

My kid favorite song and he loves drums. I rest my case (I like more bass guitars though)

Crazy. First time I heard the intro it blew my mind.

14 Freak On a Leash - Korn
15 Tom Sawyer - Rush

Rush has a collection of some of the best instrumentalists in each area, and Neil on drums is no exception!

Rush rocks, Neil is a God, Tom Sawyer is the main hymn (along with YYZ)

Because you are a knob

Very hard to play

16 YYZ - Rush

Although the studio version of this song is great, the live version from "Exit... Stage Left" is incredible. Not only does it feature the same awesome drumming from the studio album combined with an insane drum solo in the middle. The best drum song from anything, studio or live.

This is an amazing song by Rush. If you can play this your awesome

17 Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold

I think this is the most amazing drums song, just hear the drums in the song, this song is composed by "The rev" sulivan (R.I. P) He is considerated one of the best drummers ever, The song contains good rhythms and great smacks, because this is a heavy metal song, and I think this is the best drum song of all time

Perfection! How the hell did the Rev do that? Such an underrated drummer at his best in the song!

Man I saw this while listening to it! This song is awesome and the rev did a magnificent job writting it! It is a master piece!

Amazing double bass. Lots of energy. Rev was extraordinary!

18 My Generation - The Who

The massive crazy noise of Moon the Loon - The Who would not have been The Who without his input. Maybe technically not the best, but he sure had a highly original awesome sound. A great advert for English made Premier Drums.

Oldest beats of Who are, some I'm for interesting in.

19 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson

Mind bending playing. Very few drummers can claim to have had a track this. They not only kept time on such an influential, epic, rocking track, but also helped to shape the sound of it to such a degree. Bravo to Michael Giles. Bravo. One for the ages.

Smells Like Teen Spirit at 5 is priceless! This song is hard to keep up with.

20 The Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin
21 When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

My gosh, I get goosebumps literally every time I hear Bonzo's echoing, haunting drums blast in on this song.

Should be top ten the drumming in this' song make it sound like none other song before or after it.

Simple yet unforgettable! Bonham's drums were something else

What's this doing all the way down here?

22 All Nightmare Long - Metallica

Really compicated drumming by lars... But its fantastic! One of his best with double kicks

23 Fire - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

This has to be number 1. And number 2. Technically brilliant and fits seamlessly with the song.

This is awesome drumming by Mitch Mitchell who drives the song along.

My favorite drum song.

24 Basket Case - Green Day

Tre Cool's crazy fills! Just awesome. Tre has a sound of his own, which can't be matched by anyone else!

Good luck mastering drums on this one. Great fills and drumming!

Tre Cool is one of the best drummers of all time.

25 In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins

Your right, he is such an underrated drummer unfortunately a lot of people only know him as a singer and drumming on in the air tonight. Listen to the earlier stuff with genesis!

Listen to Phil on early genesis and brand x, he had technique, speed and most importantly feel.
