    Best RBN songs - DRUMS

    Hey guys, I figured i'd make a thread where we can place all of our recommendations for great DRUM songs on the RBN! I'd love to see a great resource where we can all find great drum songs to blow our brains out!

    The Attitude Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVHO_...eature=related) is one of the most fun drum songs i've ever played. I also downloaded the Bill Bruford's Earthworks song (off the online marketplace) and i'm itching to play it. Any other recommendations? So far i've got these on my 'to get list':

    The 3 inches of blood song
    makeup/breakup - super gravity
    drunken lullabies (live) - flogging molly
    the complexity of light - children of nova
    how we'd look on paper - the main drag

    I may be somewhat biased in my response, but all four of the Fake Shark-Real Zombie! tracks have really fun drum charts. Nothing super challenging for the best-of-the-best, but just overall fun to play.

    "Buried Cold" by Rose of Jericho & "Still There" by Bojibian are my favorites so far (beneath the already mentioned Main Drag & Flogging Molly songs).

    Give them a shot, you won't regret it

    I'm loving The Complexity of Light on drums, guitar and as a song. The Fake Shark-Real Zombie! ones are good also. I have a bunch more I haven't played and that I have played but can't remember the name of that were really fun too. I'll also second 3 Inches of Blood, that song is just awesome. Wounded Soul's RX is pretty good too. And Footloose Fancy And Free is cool too, highly recommended.

    I was on the fence about the Vai songs but I'll pick them up if I have extra points after Tuesday's dlc.

    Ultra Saturday - Not My Fault
    Just consistently fun and interesting all the way through, with some very tricky fills as well.

    Children of Nova - Complexity of Light
    Insane opening drum solo, and lots of original, and challenging parts through the song.

    Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Footloose and Fancy Free
    The fact that it's Bill Bruford should sell this song to any drummer out there. One of the most unique patterns in Rock Band, with lots of time signature changes, variation and a brilliant drum solo at the end.

    Steve Vai - The Attitude Song
    Well here's some irony; a Steve Vai song where the drum part is actually harder than the guitar part. Starts off simple, with some fun fills. And then, as the third guitar solo comes in, so do several WTF-inducing fills and complex, challenging beats.

    The Main Drag - How We'd Look On Paper
    The song is just amazing fun to play. It opens on a marching band-esque drum roll, goes into a Floor Tom beat which changes up frequently, into a short, sweet and simple drum solo, before launching into a syncopated disco beat, going through another solo and finally reaching a fun syncopated that requires some interesting sticking.

    DNA's Evolution - The Heist
    That drum solo is just awesome.

    Has "Packet Flier" not made it to the Store yet? I'd think the blast-beat addicts would luh-huv that one (I'm not a drummer myself).
