Overlooked songs and bands with really fun Drum charts!

"Just For Tonight" by One Night Only is amazingly fun as well

[CJHobbes]

I feel Godsmack's "I Stand Alone" is a song that's fun on drums that is rarely brought up in these threads.

A few more of mention that I can think of that I didn't see mentioned already:
In This Moment - "Mechanical Love"
Leslie Roy - "I'm Going I'm Gone"
Chiodos - "I Didn't Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard"
REO Speedwagon - "Roll with the Changes"

And I don't know if it made it to RB 3 or not, but the bonus song Ghost Hounds - "Ashes to Fire" was always fun, along with The Cab - "Bounce".

Wow, a lot of great stuff listed! I can vouch for most of them, especially

Creepin' Up the Backstairs
AFI - The Leaving Song, Pt II
Wolfmother - Joker & The Thief
Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You
The Futureheads (I actually love both tracks)
anything Siouxsie & The Banshees
anything Sleater-Kinney
Blood, Sweat, & Tears - Spinning Wheel
The New Pornographers - Use It
Kasabian - Shoot the Runner
X - I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts
The Dead Weather - Hang You From the Heavens
The Raconteurs - Many Shades of Black

All of them have unique beats that are a blast to play.

Some other overlooked gems:
Eve 6 - Inside Out
The Used - The Taste of Ink
Maximo Park - Girls Who Play Guitars (it could just be me, I have an irrational love for this song ever since I first played it)
The Pretenders - Brass In Pocket (again, could just be me)
No Doubt - Underneath It All
Alphabeat - Fascination
Average White Band - Pick Up the Pieces
Juanes - Yerbatero
Jimmy Eat World - Futures
Coheed & Cambria - Ten Speed
Janis Joplin - Piece of My Heart
Electric Six - I Don't Like You

Most tracks by The Police and The Clash are a blast. The first Billy Joel pack is astoundingly, shockingly fun (haven't played the second one yet).

Possibly the most fun I've had playing drums in RB are with Elvis Costello - "Radio, Radio" and Foo Fighters - "This Is a Call".

one of my favorite drum songs to play has to be Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness it is so fun

Maximo Park - Girls Who Play Guitars (it could just be me, I have an irrational love for this song ever since I first played it)

It's a great song. Dunno if it's a great drum chart, but I always enjoy playing it.

"Just For Tonight" by One Night Only is amazingly fun as well

This. Great song by itself, but the drum solo puts it over the top, one of my favorites.

No Doubt - Underneath It All; I love the cymbal work in it, and it has some really fun fills.
Keith Urban - I Told You So; Great toms, and just a lot of fun with some interesting parts.
30 Seconds to Mars - Attack; Just the right mix of difficulty and fun, with a good bass drum pattern.
Alanis Morissette - Head Over Feet; Great drum track, much more intricate than it initially sounds.
Counting Crows - Accidentally in Love; It's the Counting Crows...'nuff said.

Some "not as famous" favorites:

...
"Nearly Lost You" - Screaming Trees
"Love Spreads" - The Stone Roses
...

Agreed!

Grateful Dead's "Throwing Stones" is very fun

This one I agree with. The rest of theirs seem to be a combination of both of their drummers mixed into one chart. Can't stand 'em, but I don't like most of the Dead's music.

Once you figure the pattern out, yes. It's always given me trouble. Just means I need MOAR PRAKTIZ!

Only one other person mentioned the Sleater-Kinney songs, but they are all super fun. I second "Rollercoaster," and raise you "Jumpers" and "Entertain."

Thanks for the tip; I downloaded all three of these yesterday and had a blast -- and even ended up with an achievement I didn't know existed ("Sweaters, Beards, and Irony!", for 5 starring 5 RBN "indie" songs).

i have to disagree with Head Over Feet. it's one of those bizarro drum machine pattern songs, it is very intricate, but in a really unnatural feeling way to play on a real drum set. pains me to say it too, because i absolutely love the song, my favorite alanis song, and it holds some special meaning for me.

I knew I'd think of another one! "Shipping up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys. I suck at it (can't seem to break 80 or so % on Expert Pro) but adore the song.
