Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

I don't know what this means - is it your favorite recorded rythmn track and that you wish you were the one that came up with it?
If that's the case, then there are none because all my favorite tracks are 'favorites' because they are innovative and stuff that I wouldn't have thought of in the first place.

What is Hip is a great example of that..

For me, it varies. Sometimes it's checking out what the drummer played, and thinking, "Man, I wish I'd thought of that" (or even, "I wish I could play it just that way!" - it might be an appreciation of a simple part played "just so," like Manu on "Soul Cages" or JR with Rufus). Other times, it's simply acknowledging that the whole tune - the whole arrangement - is so great, it'd be a joy to play it.

Each one of the five I listed are a mix of both mindsets.

Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

Drum parts I don't envy. Those belong to the cats who played them and the producers who tweaked them. Tunes....Now that's different.
Right of Spring..CTI...Hubert Lawes
Anything that Sting has cut since he stopped working with Police.
The Welcome Album...Santana.
Tutu...Miles
Sound Track to the movie Robin Hood. Especially the Brian Adams theme song.
Take 5 any version by anyone
The Black Page
Green eyed Lady
God Bless the Child....Blood Sweat & Tears arrangement.
The Thrill is Gone....B.B. King.
Bump City Album....Tower.
Talk to your daughter...Robben Ford. As a matter of fact just about anything Robben has recorded.
The list can go on until there is no space left on this site.

Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

OK, I am looking at this as a fantasy. I am the drummer who came up with the part and recorded it.


Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Let It Be - Beatles
Carry On My Wayward Son - Kansas
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Kashmir - Led Zep

Like I said, definitely a fantasy. But boy do I wish I had been the drummer on ANY of them.

Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

- What Is Hip (TOP)
- Make Me Smile (Chicago) * Jump ahead about 1 minute; it takes a while for them to get going.. doh!
- Reelin In The Years (Steely Dan)
- Selling England by the Pound (Genesis)

Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

Sunshine of your love - Cream. Just the musicality and power.
Take 5 - Brubeck. The groove and dynamics.
L.A. Woman - The Doors.
Living loving maid - Zeppelin. Great groove. (actually, most of Bonham's stuff I love)
Fire - Hendrix. Love the energy put into the song by Mitch Mitchell.

Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

Speaking of James Brown - "Think" has got to be my favourite song by James. A great quasi-shuffle beat as well!

Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

I like this question, here are my picks and why:

One (Lars Ulrich/Metallica) - inspired me to play double bass
The Art of Shredding (Vinnie Paul/Pantera) - inspired me to play double bass well
Fistful of Steel (Brad Wilk/Rage Against the Machine) - This guy has such a great groove
When The Levee Breaks (Bonham/Zepp) - Again, serious groove
Home (Mike Portnoy/Dream Theater) - Showed me the potential of double bass drumming as used in fills

Re: Top 5 tracks that you wish that you had played on.

I don't know which one of my "fave five" I'm going to bounce to make room for it, but I've got to add Levon Helm, on "King Harvest" by The Band.
