Good songs to play?

Hey guys, I bought that Mapex I was looking at. I'll put pictures up later.

I am not new to drumming, to give you an idea on my skill level here are some songs I play frequently:

Seek and Destroy - Metallica
Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold
Danger Line - Avenged Sevenfold
One - Metallica
Hit That - Offspring
Californication - RHCP
Under the Bridge - RHCP
Dani California - RHCP
Cowboys from Hell - Pantera
Trust - Megadeth
Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth
Enter Sandman - Metallica
(Most Nirvana songs)

..and the list goes on. So I'm no beginner but I'm no expert either. What are some good songs to learn? I'm more into Metal and Rock, but as most drummers I'm open to a lot of things.

Thanks.

Try some Foo Fighters and Muse.
Underrated drummers, actually you got to have some good technique.

Examples: (you may have heard 'em before, but whatever...)
The Pretender (simple, funny)
Everlong (fast)
Stockholm Syndrome (tom beat)
Neutron Star Collision (the same goes for this one...)
Butterflies & Hurricanes

One thing I use to do is play along with the radio. A tune I especially love to play with is Usher's "Caught Up" (Aaron Spears - search on YouTube!).

Sorry to be pedantic but Thunderkiss '65 is by White Zombie, from the album "Las Sexorcisto (Devil Music: Vol.1)"


Listen to "Super Charger Heaven" by White Zombie, also a good track to drum to and easier than it sounds.


Also

Godsmack - Greed / I Stand Alone

System of a Down - Toxicity
Korn - Blind
