Does anyone have a set song they use to warm up to, or just like playing so much it's guaranteed to get the sticks going. If it's a song everyone will know happy days, if it's from your own band then please provide a YouTube/soundcloud link to the track so we can all appreciate it.

Mine has to be Incubus - under my umbrella
Reason being is the beat is solid, but there are large sections of the song that require a more delicate touch but you can let rip on the chorus. Works every time for my warm up.
 
Message in a Bottle, the Police. Mr Copeland has such an individual way of playing and his style, I think, is embodied in this track. It is very tricky, timing wise, too get it right but to make it sound good you also have to let yourself go and just ride the wave during the fade out. Magic when I get it right, and a great warm up as it includes lots of different elements.
