Top 10 Non-Extreme Metal Songs with the Best Drum Intros
The Top Ten
1 Painkiller - Judas Priest
2 Detonation - Annihilator
Awesome and long drum intro by Mike Mangini - about 17 seconds
3 Stargazer - Rainbow
4 Bushpig - Anvil
It's fast, wild and long (about 30 seconds long)
5 Fireball - Deep Purple
It's about 10 seconds long. Most importantly, Ian Paice used double bass drum in 1971! He used it to get speed. What he did was to put two single bass drums in front of him. Double bass drumming in 1971 wasn't like it is today.
6 Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
Every metal fan knows this one - it's about 8 seconds long but it isn't very fast
7 Honor Thy Father - Dream Theater
Very good intro but very short - only 3 seconds (the reason I can't put it higher)
8 Where the Rain Grows - Helloween
About 10 seconds long
9 Sign of the Warrior - Skull Fist
Pretty fast and energetic, about 6 seconds long
10 Ghost Division - Sabaton
It's short and simple but works
The Contenders
11 Carven Stone - Numenor
12 Feanor - Numenor
13 Denim and Leather - Saxon
14 Wings of Heaven - Tank
15 What's the Use? - Black Sabbath
16 Minds Under Pressure - Master
17 Institutional Man - Dio
