Best drum moments in the catalog?

Post by mikejasond »

I was just listening to the middle section of Corduroy and man the explosive drums there is just perfect.

Glorified G and Rats are highlights as well I dunno why. they aren't the best songs but the aggressive groovy style of Dave A is just :heartbeat:

Huh..you know, I really do love Dave A, and always think of him as the best PJ drummer, but man those two Jack Irons moments ARE amazing.


The drums in Lukin rock in general. Man. Ive said it before but this is what Breakerfall is missing.

I used to think Lukin sucked but after hearing the Matt Cameron era you go back to it and it rocks.

Grievance.

Love this drum moment so much. The drums are amazing throughout the whole song, but this part in bold stands out as particularly great every time I hear it.

The drum fills at the start of both Lukin and Brain of J are the same thing.
