One of those musicians was Steve Gadd, who had already graced a Simon hit, “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover,” with a pattern that had many drummers scratching their heads (mine included).

Paul Simon has had the good sense to surround himself with world-class professional musicians throughout his recording career. After working on this chart, maybe you’ll add Roger to your own list.
This all-time soul classic by the Queen of Soul is burning from start to finish. Roger Hawkins, the drummer at the time for many great Muscle Shoals recordings, is definitely on that list. I have an informal list in my mind of drummers I would like to borrow from and emulate - drummers whom if I could play like I would know I had it together. This 1968 recording comes after their first big hit “The Letter,” and has everything in it: soul, horns, a bluesy vocal by Alex Chilton, cool drumming, changes of feel and groove, and even an electric sitar! The whole decade in one song. The change of feel in the song is great training for anyone. One of hard rock’s most popular bands, “Wild Side”Ê is a hard driving, slamming song with a two-handed 16th note pattern that transitions into a hard shuffle on the chorus. “Hard times befallen the Soul Survivors,” sang Steely Dan in “Hey Nineteen.” They were referencing this one-hit group, who made it big in 1966 with “Expressway To Your Heart,” a rhythmic syncopated riff that the whole band (including the drummer) punches throughout the song. “Expressway To Your Heart” by the Soul Survivors You can definitely get your hands in shape with the above two charts. Similar drumming to “Poor Tom” above (march-like snare drum with rolls against steady bass drum). Great for the hands as well as hand-foot coordination. A nice funky snare drum part matched by a syncopated bass drum/hi-hat pattern. In 1982, two years after drummer John Bonham’s death, it was mixed by Jimmy Page and put on the band’s Coda album. On the last break, drummer Ian Paice lets go with some creative 5/4 fills which are fun to play.Ī song recorded back in 1970, the band’s heyday, but left off the Led Zeppelin III album, and put into storage. The verse is a hard driving 4/4, but the instrumental breaks, which come often, alternate between on measure of 4/4 and 5/4 each. This 1985 release by the British veterans of heavy metal was a comeback for the band, with an album release of the same name. A strange drum song that is a challenge to read, especially if you haven’t played odd time signatures much. The verse is in 5/4, with the lead vocal floating over the bar lines, while the chorus shifts into 4/4. The whole point to new wave was a return to basic, simple, unpretentious, rock and roll – kind of the antithesis to the orchestrated, complex art- rock that preceded it. The Cars were part of that new wave trend in the late 70s/early 80s with catchy songs like “Let’s Go,” “My Best Friend’s Girl,” and “Shake It Up.” All that fancy talk just means it is a blast to play.
This 60’s gem from Lee Dorsey has that New Orleans flavor: a little second line feel with a slight linear component.
