Have you ever learned a drum part, thinking you can do better, just to realize what was done was absolutely perfect?
One example is "My Best Friend" by Queen. When I first heard it I thought it was way too heavy and bombastic for the type of song it was. Then I realized, what Taylor played was the prefect compliment. Had the part been more gentle, the song would have come off wimpy.
Very humbling.
And here's another example that I just discovered. I was playing this one and again, the drums seemed very stiff and obvious -- almost "vulgar." But after trying a few approaches. I realized it fits perfectly. (Drums come in at 1:10)
This was a fun one to record. Some of you old timers might remember it. : ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AVLNMaSh4c
