Favourite Grooves/Fills

[TomasHakkesBrain]

What are everyones favourite grooves or fills? im trying to make a collection because i tend to forget. Purdie shuffle, seven days sting/vinnie c beat, bonham style triplet fill and gavin harrisons hand foot hand footfootfootfoot are some favs of mine.

cant beat the fill from Mitch Mitchell into the solo section of "Hey Joe". its just sets that next section up so well. theres so much excitement going on.

Bill Bruford has done some fantastic flowing grooves like his broken cymbal parts in One More Red Nightmare and the timbale-like rimshot accents in Thela Hun Ginjeet where he sounds like a drummer plus percussionist by himself.

The Tubes had a song called Pimp and their drummer, Prairie Prince, plays this amazing sequence in the choruses that always knocks me out.

Let's not forget Ringo's tasty triplets in A Day in the Life and Come Together or Mitch Mitchell's dextrous 9/8 triplets in Manic Depression. Hmm, I just noticed that triplets are pretty popular :)

For sensitive and intricate noodling little beats with ghost notes with a solid pulse it's hard to go past Steve Gadd and Harvey Mason.
