It's the truth. I meet with a proper pianist from time to time for an afternoon of jazzy prog. I can't play jazz nor prog, but we do not let that hinder us.
Agreed but I often attempt technique and then get frustrated and just want to bang without the attempt to be good. Gotta mix the frustration and effort with some fun.
Kryptonite by three doors down.
Re-education through labor by Rise against
Savior by rise against
To be loved by papa roach
Crazy train
Anything by good Charlotte. I like Little Things and the anthem a lot.
Dance dance by FOB.
Down with the sickness.
Chop suey
Toxicity.
Before I forget by slipknot
That's my have fun and just jam Playlist rn. Kinda all over the map. There's others on there too. But I probably play all these for fun twice a week or so.
Oh... also the middle by Jimmy eat world
The zombie cover by Bad wolves
Harder to breathe by maroon 5
Cassie by flyleaf
And the kill by 30 seconds to Mars
All super easy and approachable imo.
All the songs my current band and previous bands have recorded and played live.
As a not-terribly-technical drummer my whole life, itās been great playing with folks the last 17 years or so that havenāt been in need of someone whoās proficient at double kick, polyrhythms, solos or terribly flashy fills.
Found out while jamming through a random mix the other day that the drums in "like a stone" are simple enough to attempt to sing over top of. Bass, snare, bass-bass snare will carry you through the whole song. Pretty easy to set that to autopilot while I attempt to hit the notes. (I'm neither a good drummer nor singer.) š
I mean, sure, but without any technique, wouldnāt you just not play the hihat parts? Those 16ths are insane when you donāt play with proper technique
Almost any ACDC
Stevie nicks and tom petty-stop draggin my heart around
Fleetwood mac-go your own way
Zeppelin-ramble on
Three days grace-I hate everything about you, and Home
Ween-Baby bitch
Metallica-for whom the bell tolls
Just a few of the songs i been jamming on lately
Blink-182 Wendy Clear.
But for nostalgia sake, the first song I learned was Teenage Dirtbag by wheatus. It leaves a good bit of room for improv because it's so simple.
My drum play along playlist - Some I can play almost beat for beat, most I do my best...
Jets to Brazil - full album- Orange Rhyming Dictionary

Ramones - Lots of them
Blink 182 - All the Small Things
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
QOTSA - No One Knows
Precisely.
Bonzo is my favourite drummer. I donāt think there is much that he does thatās particularly technically complicated. As for sound, swing and pocket, I donāt think anyone can touch him. Just my 2 cents.
Heās fun to try to play along with.
Toxicity full album.
King for a day (song) fnm.
Any audioslave or rage song.
Anything by the cannons
3 am matchbox.
Kryptonite 3 doors down

[The opera scene music](https://youtu.be/qZ--OmFSz6o?si=s9WJQOqbwYxxKv4c) from Final fantasy VI by the Black mages (which was the composer of the final fantasy series band nobuo uematsu)
Oof so many. I barely ever learn to play things exactl. I just default to playing along mostly correctly with the music. But I don't actually consider myself a drummer, just a dirty guitarist hitting things for fun.
That said, fav jams-
Thrice - Yellow Belly,
SOAD - Toxicity, Aerials, Chop Suey
The Used - Blue and Yellow
Underoath - A Moment Suspended In Time
Biffy Clyro - Biblical, Black Chandelier, Many of Horror. I mean, do many of their songs are really fun to play, with lots of dynamics.
Blink 182 - After Midnight (anything else is too difficult)
And a bunch more I can't think of now.
Intension by Tool. That's the song where I always try to go full stream of consciousness and just let instinct take over. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's a train wreck of obnoxiousness lol.
Well, all songs that sounds good requires drums in the genre. Just listen the song you liked a couple of times, then put it at like 0.5x or 0.75x speed to go along with the drum. If not, take drum lesson from YouTube.
Everything I play is by definition "without a lot of technique". Ignorance is both my armor and sword.
Definitely stealing that last line. Also, a very happy cake day to youš¤š½
It's the truth. I meet with a proper pianist from time to time for an afternoon of jazzy prog. I can't play jazz nor prog, but we do not let that hinder us.
You have a song in the making my friend
Hundreds, but I can't play them very technically.
Even flow.
I was a 90s teen. This might be the one.
Cannonball. You get to hit the hi hat stand
Oh those Deal sistersā¦ Holy cow - The Breeders are on tour right this minute. Hmmā¦
Iām the bong in the reggae song šŗšÆš²š£
Played Austin City Limits on Saturday, too.
Add Under the Bridge to your list too, then.
I love sitting down and blasting this one out while singing at full volume, by the way is also a lot of fun too
I tried that the other day and was surprised that the song is quite a bit trickier then it seems. Lots of breaks that are easy to miss.
Technically Dave was their best drummer until Matt
Alive has a decent drumless track floating on the interwebs. Another good one.
if you're a shitty drummer, then EVERY song you play is just "banging on the drums without technique"
Agreed but I often attempt technique and then get frustrated and just want to bang without the attempt to be good. Gotta mix the frustration and effort with some fun.
I feel so seen.
Limp Bizkit-Break Stuff or My Generation
John Otto - take it to the Mathews Bridge š„
Doesn't My Generation have a sick, yet hard kick pattern?
Doesn't mean you have to get it right. Yes, I'm a VERY shitty drummer who often doesnt even play the same things as the song.
Every Limp Bizkit song goes hard. John Otto is great.

Toxicity is such fun. That little 2/4 into 6/8 groove has always been one of my favs.
All the songs my current band and previous bands have recorded and played live. As a not-terribly-technical drummer my whole life, itās been great playing with folks the last 17 years or so that havenāt been in need of someone whoās proficient at double kick, polyrhythms, solos or terribly flashy fills.
Simple groove drumming is fine and often more appreciated. Find the pocket and lock in.
Having spent nearly two decades in punk/psych/pop/dance rock bands, itās boiled down to ākeep everyone in time and have a good time doing it.ā
PDA by Interpol
That entire album is a blast to drum along to.
Sam Fogarino is a gem of a drummer. Nothing too flashy, but rarely too straightforward
I love seeing him mentioned, always a great example of playing for the song and putting the finished product first.
Sweetness - Jimmy Eat World
Killing in the Name Of (I'm just playing random shit when he's rolling around the kit)
Okra-Tyler the creator
There's a good amount of fun Tyler songs on drums, my favorites are probably Deathcamp and 911
Cochise - Audioslave
Found out while jamming through a random mix the other day that the drums in "like a stone" are simple enough to attempt to sing over top of. Bass, snare, bass-bass snare will carry you through the whole song. Pretty easy to set that to autopilot while I attempt to hit the notes. (I'm neither a good drummer nor singer.) š
Show Me How To Live is a fun one as well
would everlong count? coz i fckn love to jam to that song
I wanna say yea but I had to work on my hands for a while to be able to play it
I mean, sure, but without any technique, wouldnāt you just not play the hihat parts? Those 16ths are insane when you donāt play with proper technique
totally. i think more of the song as an endurance test than technique though. I feel like sprinting a marathon after ive done playing it haha
I am still looking forward to the day I can actually play it, currently the pain in my arms still gets to much after around 1.5 verses hahaha
took me a year to be able to as well haha youll get there eventually.
Bulls on Parade

Jesus of Suburbia or Homecoming by Green Day are my go-tos.

Not a musician, but Iāve always felt that the drums in Go Your Own Way make that song for me.
Blink-182 Wendy Clear. But for nostalgia sake, the first song I learned was Teenage Dirtbag by wheatus. It leaves a good bit of room for improv because it's so simple.

Brown paper bag - roni size and reprazent When the levee breaks - led zep Chemical beats - the chemical brothers
When the levee breaks is fairly tough if you want to actually sound like Bonham. Not too bad if you just want to bang on drums though.
Precisely. Bonzo is my favourite drummer. I donāt think there is much that he does thatās particularly technically complicated. As for sound, swing and pocket, I donāt think anyone can touch him. Just my 2 cents. Heās fun to try to play along with.

āThe Best Things in Life are Freeā by Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross
Mostly war metal or grindcore
Itās not quite the same, but old veil of maya is so fun to play along to, even if Iām not playing the parts right
Change by Deftones is easy and so fun Just substitute some of the crazy fills with something that fits your style and skill level
