I Want To Play a SONG!
Hey guys,
I've been taking lessons, both with a live instructor and a video DVD series, and I've been learning quite a bit and making some progress. But, I'd like to try to actually play a song all the way through. It would have to be something VERY simple, and preferably in the classic rock genre. Does anybody have any ideas? And if so, is there a how-to video or some other simple way to see how to play it? At this point in my drumming journey, it would be heartening to be able top play along with something!
Thanks in advance for any great ideas!

OOOOOOO, that looks doable! Thank you! Now that you've mentioned it, I think this is the song my teacher told me I'd be working on a little bit down the road. If I pick this up NOW, boy, will I be able to impress him!

Keep it simple. If there is a part or two that trips you up a bit, just keep it basic.
I air drummed the heck out of that song before I ever sat behind a kit. I credit that song as my first ever learned.
You can do it!

I've tried it for a bit...the only issue for me at the moment is the two rapid kick beats, due to my disability, but I think i can get it! Thanks, guys!

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger is another really easy one. And fun.
Re: I Want To Play a SONG!
Most AC/DC songs are good to learn.. 1st song I ever learned was Back in Black.

Cool, man, thanks! I've definitely made some progress this weekend. I restart my lessons on Tuesday, after 2 weeks off. We'll see where he decides to take me after I show him where I'm at, now!

Damn right it is. One of my juniors knocked it down in a few lessons and with a chart as well. Did it last Saturday. Very proud of him I am.

Re: I Want To Play a SONG!
Pretty much any song by AC/DC. Just gotta get the "feel" right.
Stolen from EddieV:
Boom, ching, boom boom ching, fuggadugga fuggadugga fuggadugga crash. Rinse, Repeat ad-nauseum.
Come on Mark. You steal copy. Just look at your signature.

Neil Young's Old Man is pretty simple, too.

Led Zeppelin - The Crunge
But on a serious note, you should try Not For You by Pearl Jam.
Basically a straight kick-hat-snare-hat pattern all the way through, but with some variation on cymbals.
