Bill Ward and Geyser Butler - the Birmingham heavy mob.

The real power of Phil Collins's drumming in In The Air Tonight isn't just in the first big fill. It's when you keep listening to the song, and the fills after that just keep you immersed in the energy. That's a pretty unusual thing - usually it's the lead guitar or the vocals that keep you immersed, but somehow Phil makes his drums the key to the whole experience.

Collins’ fill from In The Air Tonight made you want to hear that song over and over again. I was working the cash register at a local record store when it was hitting the charts. Young guy, mid 20’s came bursting into the store, right up to my spot and said “There’s this song…” I reached over my shoulder without looking to the #1 spot on the 45 display, grabbed it and put it on the counter in front of him and asked, “Anything else?” He gleefully paid and left with his treasure.

Rick!!! We ABSOLUTELY care how long it takes to make a video. Your dedication to put these magical music moments together means so much. Music is such a powerful medium, and your passion and dedication allows us a ride we would otherwise NEVER get to go on. These videos high light timeless pieces that enthrall as much today as the day they dropped. These experiences reinvigorate the same passion and joy as when we was kids! Speaking of awesome albums from back in the day. One of my all time faves: Not Fragile - Bachman Turner Overdrive (aka BTO) I still rock out as much to that today as in '77. Rob was one of my drummer inspirations.

I’ve lived with these fills FOREVER, the Mark Craney ones are SO fun 🎉

Great selection! Some of my favourites: Black Sabbath - Warpigs (you know which ones!) Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots (the tom hits that get slower right before the main groove!) Pink Floyd - Money (Nick Mason going wild on the toms right before the second guitar solo) Tool - Lateralus (this track has amazing drumming in general, but there are so many different ones to chose from...)

Its all about the cocaine, greasepaint and limelight production circa 1981 that made it an earworm. The thing was an afterthought suggestion by a producer 'so the kids will know where 1 is' eager for his take on Gabriel's 'Intruder' drum sound off the 3rd eponymous album coincidentally being recorded just down the hall and tracked sans cymbals because of the intense attack/release noise-gating. And in fact with Collins sitting in for Jerry Marotta on that ground breaking album's first cut. The fill itself as with all the drum patterns employing that extreme gating threshold were kept simple and minimal to achieve isolation from other aounds on the kit for maximum effect. Otherwise its no mean feat for beginners with a few lessons under their belt (or not) to swing a couple bars of an open single stroke roll, just sayin'.

Stargazer's drum intro is absolutely amazing, but what is even more amazing perhaps is that the song doesn't let up or let you down for even an instant after that. Truly the perfect heavy metal anthem. As good as metal gets.

My mate Dave did the best drum fill EVER when he fell down a flight of stairs carrying his snare drum and sticks. He’d just finished off a bottle of brandy and was getting ready to load up the boogie bus for a gig. The sound was phenomenal! The rest of the band congratulated him on such an astounding performance and asked for an encore (we were gonna film it) For some unknown reason he shouted at us to ‘just fu.k off!’ Still managed to play a great gig AND pull a fit bird afterwards! ROCK N ROLL FOREVER!

I absolutely appreciate all the hard work you put into this video, Rick. Well done to Jack as well as the entire team. I know of a fill that would have been epic for this countdown and that is the song- “Desperate Cry” by Sepultura. It has lots of fills in it but the one most insane fill is in the last part of the song. I swear he must be doing a complete 360° turn on his seat 😂. Oh and he still manages to hit the cymbals as he goes around lol 🤣🤣🤣.

Serious question: how about putting up a Rick Beato's band and do some jams and/or release some tracks every once in a while. You have an incredible line-up over there. Nothing fancy, just half an hour every quarter or so on a live stream. I think it would be cool. Thumbs up if you like the idea. Thanks.

As he, himself says, SD Cleveland, ''I'm a 'song drummer'. And most agree. His feel for every single one of the Beatles tunes is truly pioneering. So many drummers have been influenced by his uncanny knack of 'playing' with the songs' lines and phrases. Ringo was/is musical as all heaven. He really was the glue of the group. And, to this day, he still knows the value of 'transcending'/meditation. His ebullient, heart-filled, happy personality is still shining on. When you see Ringo being interviewed, or, playing with his All Stars, or, sneaking in as a guest performer/singer on some show or other - doesn't he just make you smile? His anecdotes and 'takes' on his/their history takes you in. His words seem spell-binding.

He made this video just before you could formally say that Pneuma is the greatest drum fill. Danny Carey's live performance of that song nevermind the CD is just another level of rhythm and feeling. It's pure energy and anger released in this catharsis of skill and mesmerising noise. The best drums I've heard on any song personally.

In addition to the intense way the drum fill is played, it's recorded to give this huge, thunderous sound 80% of the way through a mostly quiet track - the huge contrast of the acoustic drum kit with the electronic beeps and buzzes of the CR-78 makes it really stand out and gives it that sense of climax. That kind of use of dynamic range seems to have almost vanished from today's music, where tracks seem to be compressed within an inch of their lives.

Awesome video. Who'd have thought gated reverb would beat the Stairway fill? Solid choices all around. One that to me belongs in the list, as iconic as Stairway or In The Air Tonight, is the drum fill intro to Tommy Gun.

Definitely reeled me in with the first one. Great list! In any order, too.

#1 was also the one that popped into my mind. Phil Collins said in an interview that it actually could have been any fill. He was just recording his drumtakes and he would do all kinds of fills. This one just happened to be one on the best take. Amazing, isn't it? Arguably the most iconic drum break in rock history and it was just 'luck'.
