All great selections and hard to argue with. My favorites are “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N Roses and “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister. Some obscure songs with great drum intros are “Planet Hell” by Nightwish and “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” by Sabaton. The drum intro to “Ghost Division” is very brief and there isn’t really anything special about it, but I love the way it leads into the song. It makes for a great opener for the band live.

I just subscribed to your channel. Love the lists. Here's some one I think that needs to be included in your drummers lists. Tony Thompson was truly a great drummer who played for the likes of Nile Rodgers and Chic, David Bowie and of course The Power Station. He definitely had some great intros, fills and solos and surely some almighty grooves. Take for instance Power Station's Some Like It Hot (Nice intro and fills), Go to Zero, Get It On Bang a Gong (killer intro fill), Lonely Tonight and Communication. Those included great drum intros, nice groove and fills. David Bowie's Modern Love is also another great tune with Thompson's work. Also his work with Chic includes songs like Rebels Are We, Soup For One, Everybody Dance (has a killer groove), My Forbidden Lover (another killer groove). Come to think of it he could at least be an honorable mention in most of these drum categories.

1976 : a young, but already well reputed session drummer played on lowdown, on Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees. One of my favorite drum intros. Among the other session musicians : David Paich, David Hungate. Yes, you got it! The drummer was Jeff Porcaro. Another great intros : - mama by Genesis with harsh, heavy, and haunting at the same time drum machines. - scatterbrain by Jeff Beck - the badman song by Tears for Fears (Manu Katché)

L O L but once again, it’s uncanny how much are taste in music overlaps because you love basically all the music that I love having been born in 1954!
