Songs With "Catchy" Drum Solos Or Riffs

[ActionJackson]

We all know who the great drummers are. John Bonham, Neil Peart, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Phil Collins, and many others. I wouldn't normally include ZZ Top's drummer, Frank Beard, on that list, but I really enjoy his work on their song: "Heard It On The X."

I liked Santana's Mike Shrieve when he did Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock. I like Carter Beauford with the Dave Mathews Band in general. That dude from Blue Cheer "Summertime Blues" was an enforcer on those drums.

The long drum break in Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" is great, a real classic.

I immediately thought about the Surfaris and "Wipe Out":

Let's not forget Freebird.

The solo's not overwhelming stylistically but the work from beginning to end is magnificent.
