Like The Dude’s room-unifying rug, drums really tie a song together. Fills and flares and solos keep things interesting while the driving rhythm dictates how you move your body on the dance floor—or just approvingly nod your head from the barstool. We put together this playlist of drum-heavy songs with driving beats you can’t help but air drum to, along with impressive examples of technical skills on the skins by masters of the kit. Press play and let the beat go on.
