You know when you're listening to a song and a drum fill happens that is so much more than just filling-in, it's a musical event that forces you to sit up and take notice, like a little cadenza, and makes you want to straight away go and try and learn it? Where the sound and the playing come together to create something incredibly special just for a moment?
There are some fills that I still find hugely exciting regardless of how many times I've heard them, and I'll listen to them over and over again to try and absorb their greatness though aural osmosis like Charles I rubbing bits of ground-up Egyptian mummies into himself.
These tend to be mainly of the big loud heroic variety, but not always. I thought I'd post some of mine and see if you guys could introduce me to others I might find similarly exciting.
There's the famous one in 'Achilles Last Stand' (at about 1.17)...
...the one that brings the drums back in in the half-time second in Slayer's 'Angel of Death' (1.46)...
...and the two-bar break in the middle of War Ensemble...
...and this one going into the second chorus of 'Fat Bottomed Girls'...
and loads more I'm sure but there's a start! What are yours?
