I like how the drum intro is not always necessarily a fill, but the establishment of the beat. People say, just make a beat, and the song comes around it. This is how drums can be the foundation of a band.

If it didn’t start with a tiny bit of synth, a ridiculously amazing one to add to this list would be the intro that Dave Grohl plays on the Queens of the Stone Age song “Song for the Dead”. That is definitely my favorite drum solo of all time.

David Levin - No drum intro comes close

All great selections and hard to argue with. My favorites are “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N Roses and “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister. Some obscure songs with great drum intros are “Planet Hell” by Nightwish and “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” by Sabaton. The drum intro to “Ghost Division” is very brief and there isn’t really anything special about it, but I love the way it leads into the song. It makes for a great opener for the band live.

I just subscribed to your channel. Love the lists. Here's some one I think that needs to be included in your drummers lists. Tony Thompson was truly a great drummer who played for the likes of Nile Rodgers and Chic, David Bowie and of course The Power Station. He definitely had some great intros, fills and solos and surely some almighty grooves. Take for instance Power Station's Some Like It Hot (Nice intro and fills), Go to Zero, Get It On Bang a Gong (killer intro fill), Lonely Tonight and Communication. Those included great drum intros, nice groove and fills. David Bowie's Modern Love is also another great tune with Thompson's work. Also his work with Chic includes songs like Rebels Are We, Soup For One, Everybody Dance (has a killer groove), My Forbidden Lover (another killer groove). Come to think of it he could at least be an honorable mention in most of these drum categories.

It's very cool to see Rick Beato actually playing on the video! 🎉

Great list! There's a rock song with drum intro that I remember from 1980, "Say Hello" by April Wine.

I love "i will remember" by TOTO.. killer drums intro and all the way to the end.

The drum intro to Iron Maiden’s Run To The Hills should’ve at least been an honorable mention, along with Judas Priest’s Painkiller and Megadeth’s Rust In Peace...Polaris.

When the Levee Breaks is the first song that came to mind when I saw the Title of the Video. A lot of great choices in the Rundown. Real drums add so much life and feeling to songs as shown in the Top Song as it is essentially the Lead instrument throughout the song. I love certain Solo Artists, but a Band with a great Drummer is something to experience.

"Play That Fast Thing One More Time" by Rockpile is one crazy song with Terry Williams' drum intro. all out fun track.

My vote is for: Judas Priest, Painkiller You could call it more of a drum solo rather than just an intro.

Technically...there's no drum intro to the song Time. Bass, guitar and synth come in first, and the drums dance around the landscape they make. The part just before the lyrics is not an intro, as the song is already 2 minutes in. But...yeah. Play or even mimic that drum lick and many people would involuntarily sing the first line.

1976 : a young, but already well reputed session drummer played on lowdown, on Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees. One of my favorite drum intros. Among the other session musicians : David Paich, David Hungate. Yes, you got it! The drummer was Jeff Porcaro. Another great intros : - mama by Genesis with harsh, heavy, and haunting at the same time drum machines. - scatterbrain by Jeff Beck - the badman song by Tears for Fears (Manu Katché)

Hey Rick! I just got done watching your 20 greatest guitar solos of all time video! You diamond yourself out because you couldn’t hit the cord on the veil Van Halen song that went from like the 12th fret to the 16th Brett and I thought to myself no one other than about five musicians in the world would’ve known if you had a cheated and played a different chord! L O L but once again, it’s uncanny how much are taste in music overlaps because you love basically all the music that I love having been born in 1954! Also, one of the great pleasures of watching the video was checking out all your different guitars which are absolutely amazing! I give my eye teeth to own one or two of them and your collectionIs absolutely astounding! Please keep the videos coming and I’m working through your courses online and they’re phenomenal to Rick!!! 😎👍👍👍👍
