Ahhh…the drum fill. It’s one of the most beloved/underrated and simple/complex elements of a song.
Admit it: We all have done a bit of air drumming in the car, and there’s a good chance that air drumming happened during Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight.”
In honor of Collins’ birthday today (January 30), here are seven killer drum fills.
Phil Collins – “In The Air Tonight”
Drum fill at 3:16.
Billy Joel – “Only The Good Die Young”
Drum fill at 0:13.
Ram Jam – “Black Betty”
Drum fill at 1:32.
David Bowie – “Young Americans”
Starts at song’s beginning.
Led Zeppelin – “Whole Lotta Love”
Leave it to John Bonham to have three great drum fills in one song. First takes place at 3:02, while the second is at 4:35 and the third at 4:56.
The Who – “Won’t Get Fooled Again”
This epic drum fill begins at 7:31 and is punctuated with one of the greatest screams in recorded history.
Rush – “Tom Sawyer”
No drumming list is complete without some Neil Peart. Drum fill starts at 2:35.
