    Default the simple pleasures

    Why is it I still enjoy slapping on the headphones and drumming to REO Speedwagon Roll with the changes every once and a while? What is your ridiculously easy drum song that is your guilty pleasure?

    Occasionally I like to tune in to one of the local EDM stations and drum along with whatever comes on. It can be a lot of fun!

    I play along with country or blues songs from the 1950's. In lots of cases drumming was simpler back then.

    No problems seeing the drummer, that's for sure.

    "Have I told you lately" by Van Morrison.

    I have recently hit an ability plateau and the constant work and no progress is getting to me. I have decided to take a few weeks out just enjoy myself by playing only the simplest things I can find. When I play this one, if you were to close your eyes, you would probably swear that the drums part if being performed by someone who isn't a dis-rhythmic disaster area.
