Re: You Know You Love to Give Advice !
We do several of the songs you already have on your list. I'd say Mustang Sally is the one that ALWAYS get people on the floor. 'Every time I roll the Dice' is also a good one for getting people up. 'Honkey Tonk Women' and 'Hoochie Coochie Man' are good ones too. I've noticed that almost any song with hard driving "straight 4" beat at moderate tempo (like previous examples) gets people dancing. I like to start songs with just me playing the bass drum hard in a straight 1-2-3-4 for several measures, then have the lead guitar jump in with a distorted riff......then just watch the people (especially girls) run to the dance floor. Doesn't matter what the song is. People seem to love that simple primitive beat. If you can keep the Chics on the dance floor, the guys stick around regardless.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
