Let There Be Drums by Sandy Nelson and We Will Rock You by Queen. For We Will Rock You, the drums are more notorious in the live versions.

There are two that come to mind for me:

1 Thing by Amerie

In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins

@HunterPandora I love this post...Here are my favorites...But I must say you have a great list...

1.) Stairway to Heaven (Remaster), Led Zeppelin. My favorite (it begins about 4:16, be patient, and you will be in for a treat)

2.) Tom Sawyer by Rush (This was close to being my #1, but only half the length of Stairway to Heaven)

3.) Black Dog (Remaster) by Led Zeppelin.

4.) Good Times Bad Times (Remaster) by Led Zeppelin. 

5.) When the Levee Breaks (Remaster) by Led Zeppelin. 

6.)  Come Sail Away by Styx. (Be patient 2:30) 

7.) Lady by Styx. 

8.) Roll with the Changes by REO Speedwagon. 

9.) I Need You by Lynyrd Skynyrd. 

10.) White Room by Cream. 

Enjoy the music.

Take care and GOD bless.

@AlyssaPandora Phil Collins was an excellent drummer. He does a great job with this song. I rate this in my top 20 drum songs. Great choice.

Take care, dear friend, and GOD bless.

Hey @HunterPandora!

That's an excellent question. Here are some of my favorite songs:

Awake and Alive by Skillet. (I really like this song because the drummer, Jen Ledger, not only plays the drums, she also sings, and I think she does it very well! I also recommend some other songs by this band, like  “The Resistance” and “Monster.”)

Nothing In My Way by Keane.

Circle VII: Sins Of The Lion by Alesana.

Scream Aim Fire by Bullet for My Valentine.

@JoshPandora nice choice with Skillet.

Take care and GOD bless.

@HunterPandora I also forgot to make mention of these two songs...

YYZ by Rush. It is pretty much a drum solo. 

Ticks & Leeches by TOOL. 

Take care and GOD bless.

I was forgetting to include The End by The Beatles.

Hi @MOHLovesAlaska Thank you for your suggestions.

I confirm that every Rush song has excellent drumming; Neil Peart is one of my favorite drummers.

I'll listen to the song you recommended by Tool, the instrument I remember most from that band is the bass.

Have a nice day!

@HunterPandora Neal Pert was, in my opinion, one of the top 2 drummers of all time. My favorite is Bonham from Led Zeppelin. 

My take on Neal Pert (Personal opinion). 

• Precision and complexity: Peart was a master of technical drumming, known for his intricate time signatures and elaborate fills.

• Lyricist and intellectual: He wasn’t just the drummer—he wrote most of Rush’s lyrics, infusing their music with philosophical and literary depth.

• Live performances: His solos were legendary, often blending jazz, rock, and even electronic elements.

John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) (Personal opinion)

• Raw power and groove: Bonham’s drumming was thunderous yet deeply musical. His feel was unmatched—just listen to “When the Levee Breaks” or “Good Times Bad Times.”

• Influence: He laid the foundation for hard rock and metal drumming. Countless drummers cite him as their primary influence.

• Innovation: Bonham’s use of triplets, ghost notes, and dynamic control made him a pioneer.

If Peart was the architect, Bonham was the force of nature. Peart built cathedrals of rhythm; Bonham tore the roof off with soul and swagger. Choosing between them is like choosing between a Ferrari and a Mustang—both are iconic, just tuned differently. 

Take care and GOD bless.

Thanks, @MOHLovesAlaska!

I really love Skillet, I would love to see them live someday.

[MOHLovesAlaska]

@JoshPandora, my eldest brother David went to see them a while back, and he said they were one of the best performing groups he had seen live, and he has been to about a dozen or so Heavy Metal concerts. 

Take care and GOD bless.
