I don't understand how some drummers let some of their tracks get finalized on studio albums when there are obvious (maybe only to other drummers, but still) mistakes and/or sloppiness. I would cringe every time I heard the track come on the radio if I were the drummer. I haven't heard too many of these, but two that come to mind for me are (I have the songs cued up to where some of the mistakes are):
Better Than Ezra - Good
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
These are minor flub ups of course, but they always bother me when I hear them. That intro to Iron Man with the flams and bass drum going back and forth always stood out as sloppy to me. Maybe I'm just be overly critical, but if I were going to lay down a track on an album, I would do as many takes as it took until I got it perfect. I'm guessing a lot of artists didn't have that luxury back in the day and had to capture it in one take and that's why these mistakes exist on records. But I'd still love to see what other well-known tracks are out there with obvious drum flubs in them.
So let's hear em!
