I was listening to the drum movement following the solo in "Tom Sawyer" (Rush) and it inspired my this question: What are your favorite "drum fills"? By this I mean not a whole solo, but just a little fragment of drumming skills. Personally, I really enjoy the passage in "Tom Sawyer" and its heavy metal duplicate found in Dream Theater's "As I Am". EDIT: How could I have forgotten the intro to Zappa's "Montana"!? |

There's 2 that 1 can think at the moment from Marillion Misplaced Childhood cd. One is at the beginning of the song Bitter suite, you have to listen careffuly because it's in the background of a guitar solo. Another one is the beginning of the song Waterhole (expresso bongo)

Bonzo's fills always did it for me; 'Good Times,Bad Times', 'Out on the Tiles', 'How Many More Times', etc |

I really love the simple little thing Bill Bruford does on CTTE, just before the singing ("A seasoned witch...") starts, when there is a little break in the music (organ fading out...) And that's just one of many superb BB moments. But when you're talking about Bonzo, Keith Moon has such moments too - especially on WHO'S NEXT!

| It's not prog, but Levon Helm's flams on "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" from The Band's Last Waltz, always give me chills. Very tastefully done; it adds a lot to the song. Plus, he singing and playing drums at the same time. |

In the title track of Gong's "Shamal" Pierre Moerlen does a lot of great ones, my favourite being the one between 8:08 and 8:10.

If we're ignoring Phil Collins' immense knack for superb fills because I can't choose just one, Guy Evans' fills on Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever, Gog and Pilgrims rank among my favourites. There's one great one on Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso's misere alla storia (if I'm thinking of the right track... think I am), and Keith Moon on Baba O'Riley pulls out some stunning ones. |

Gavin harrison does some crazy fills here and there, Theres a little part of FOABP's title track that still gets my head banging 
Danney Carreys work on Lateralus, as mentioned, The entire album really.
And Bill Bruford kinda goes without saying really, One More Red Nightmare kills. Brann Dailor can be good, but i often find his constant fills a little boring. Oh and Jon Theodor was decent (Day of the Baphomets is full of amazing drumming moments all round really), until he left... the new guy - Pridgeon, is a bit like Dailor, if they both slowed down and used a few more creative fills instead of just banging as fast as possible theyd be amazing ------------- 'Yeah, thats..

Bruford's solo on Indiscipline is a killing machine  Also I'd like to mention: Danny Carey's "Ticks and Leeches" intro. Gavin Harrison's "Fear of a Blank Planet" fill just before the heavy riff/solo part. Mike Portnoy's "Honor Thy Father" intro... I really don't like this song but that intro is amazing.

| The one I always wait for isn't a huge fill, but always leaves me satisfied, is Phil Collins' dual machine gun rap in 'Squonk' at about 4:18. Of course, that track was a homage to Bonzo, and has countless fills. From Bonzo himself, the last two minutes of Kashmir (after Plant's 'When I'm on my way'), where he demonstrates why he will never have a peer in fillage. Every single fill is an absolute gem. Oh, the one at 7:20, and at 7:33 ... time for a cold shower. |

Hi,
Hard to beat Bonzo's fills and Moonie's fills ... it really is ... you can look back to "Who Are You" and you can easily see one of the very best rock drummers ever ...
The trick to these fills, I always thought, is to let go of the clock in the music ... and only concern yourself with filling in the space ... you can always come back to the clock whenever you have had enough of the fills ... and this is one of the worst things in most drum solos ... most drummers are araid to let go of the time-clock ... and heck if all I wanted for my music was a metronome, why the fudge would I get me a drummer boy?
Nick Mason is pretty good too ... check out the film "Live in Pompei" and you can really see it well.
I also like Peter Leopold from Amon Duul 2 ... involved in really difficult music that is not chuckberry minded and the way he mixes and matches things in Dance of the Lemmings and Yeti, and then Wolf City ... are too precious ... and you really should listen to that massive break and fill in "Apocalyptic Bore" ... it is the best of all of them in rock ... but yeah ... I love Bonzo's a lot.
Also important, is side 1 of Gong's You ... Pierre Moerlin's drumming in those two long cuts is almost insane ... he's all over the place and you wonder where the time is ... it's in zen somewhere and doesn't exist and to me, that is the only way that song sounds good ... and his breaks with Steve Hillage are even better on the way to A sprinkling of flowers. Gong never ever ever sounded half as good with anyone else drumming other than Pierre ... more jazzy, more this and more that ... but never with the rock edge that this guy had and then some. You can also see Pierre all over Mike Oldfield's Exposed DVD ... which is highly recommended.

| This is more like a solo than a fill, but the drum break in Frank Zappa's "It must be a camel", before the main theme is reprised in the end, is quite a killer. Also, the fill in "Camarillo brillo", right after the first vocal line is great. |

Mani Neumeier from Guru Guru ... in the first 4 albums specially, there are a lot of free form things and the drumming is never boring ... and you have to be good when you can do that ... and still play ... and I have been told once that he IS the lead player in the band, not the guitarists! ... that would be a sight to see!

Hi,
It's actually amazing when you think about it ... you can start with the first album, and then Hinten and go to Kanguru Guru and then Dance of the Flames and then Tango Fango ... and you never get the feeling that this guy is just keeping time ... the music stands out ... and that is really rare ... nothing against a Mike P, or some of these more metal inclined drummers ... but they are time keepers, not drummers!
Anytime you have to accent that snare drum that much ... just means that you can not play music without a clock ahead of you! And that usually means it's about the clock ... not the music! It makes you a good technical drummer, but not quite one that can add to the music ... and make it special! ... and free ... so it can fly through the ages and eras of time and music!

1. Bruford (Yes), "Heart of the Sunrise" - about 1 minute in, with the keyboards and guitars doing the thematic riff. Truly, exceptional drum filling there. 2. Collins (Genesis), "Fountain of Salmacis" - great little jazz-inspired fill right after Gabriel sings: "...both had given everything they had..." 3. Barlow (JT), "Minstrel in the Gallery" (title song) - all throughout, wonderfully tasteful fills. 4. Mosley (Marillion), "Misplaced Childhood" - several places throughout the whole album (as was mentioned above in another comment). 5. Phillips (Mike Rutherford), "Smallcreep's Day" - nice fills throughout the whole song, Out Into the Daylight, but especially the machine-gun double-bass towards the end - very sweet! Probably others, but can't think of them right now... |

Oh man... Well for starters I love the mini drum solos in April Ethereal - Opeth. They are so simple, yet so powerful and show off how much style Lopez has. Next up are the little drum fills in Soul Burn - Meshuggah. Another honorary mention goes to Gavin Harrisons massive hi-hat based fill in Fear Of A Blank Planet. Not prog, but the drum fill that links the guitar solo to the epic bridge in Cast Down The Heretic - Nile is absolutely MEGA. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value."

For starters at least...
Baba O'Riley- The Who (Moon's entry is the reason why i picked up a pair of drum sticks)

Obvious mention goes to Bruford in "One More Red Nightmare." Those spaces in the instrumental chorus possess fills ranging from the sublime to the hilarious. Oh, and the little moment in "Great Deceiver" just after the church organ/vocal break. Ooh! And how could we forget "In the Court of the Crimson King"? Also agree with earlier poster about that one fill in CttE. |

Favorite drum fill? Dang thats hard. A few that I really like are:
Set the world on Fire (Symphony X) at 5:05-- Simple but powerful
Ytse Jam (Dream Theater) at 3:47--old, but still a good fill
When the water breaks (Liquid tension experiment) from 9:30 thru 10:08. I love this whole section, and the fills are great.
There are tons that stand out, but I cant call any my favorite. I like whichever I heard last, the best.

 I'm not a drummer myself but i'm obsessed with Christian Vander's drumming (of MAGMA fame). The particular way he goes about his work is quite something special. He seems to improvise his fills on the spot most of the time and in the spur of the moment he gets completely carried away with his music. I mean, he's even drumming when he's not drumming, e.g. he hits some notes *not* and you see him rolling his eyes instead (one of the things he's "famous" for). Sometimes, at least in his earlier days, he got carried away a bit too far - but then he has these moments of pure genius when he does something totally incredible to make up for it. Love, love, love this guy. Let me give you some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHEfJdAKODQ - Kohntarkosz excerpt (2007) - This one is full to the brim with amazing fills. As far as I understand it Vandar plays his own syncopated counter-beat to the "main" beat, steadies it with the hi-hat and improvises all over it (even polyrhythmic) while he's at the same time very careful *not ever* to overlap with the "main" beat. See him starting at 0:30 in a neverending series of awsome fills. The video is titled "Guitar solo", but really, it's the drums that blow me away and I have yet to recover... Favorite fills: 2:29 - 2:32, 4:13-4:14 (the look on his face) and of course 4:37-4:43 (the look on his face!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlJKKtgreqw - Mekanik Kommandoh (2006) - 1:00 - 1:26 monster fills + trademark eye rolls at 4:54. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XDssNGp_PE - Mekanik Kommandoh (1977) . Not quite as sophisticated, but here you can see the sheer energy and madness of the man on his prime (the guitarist is totally not Luke Skywalker).

I know the fills of the album side Tarkus like the back of my hand. Ever since I was a child I noted and enjoyed Palmer's trademark thinking and, well, delicious sloppiness (his timing often warps during fills, but in such a musical way that there's no issue for me). "Stones of Years" is chock full. I'm sure some would say Palmer fills too much; I'd say get out of the kitchen then, 'cause that's what these guys are cookin'. My personal favorite? Really, I tried to think of only one, but... I find my favorites here are not the hardest things at all: "Stones of Years" at about 3'20; the close of "Manticore" (and may as well mention the opening of "Battlefield"); 40 seconds into "Battlefield" there's a kick-snare pattern, used again at about 1'28 (sloppy stuff, but become so 'signature' to me), also during the guitar solo (about 1'57); and finally, at about 0'42 in "Aquatarkus," there's just a cymbal crash - it's not much of a "fill" in terms of size, it's apropos of nothing, and I can't live without it! (Btw, I left out that whole middle of "Mass" only because to me it's not really a section of drum fills but more a duet of Emerson and Palmer. Super great anyway. I especially love the sparser moments, like the choked cymbal and lone kick hits.) |

In the Court of the Crimson King, that second to last fill before the fade out just seems to keep going.
Supper's Ready - Live on the Archive disc 3 during apocalypse in 9/8, Phil is tearing sh*t up there.
Supper's Ready - Live this time with Bruford on the 1976 video included on the Trick of the Tail DVD. The fills that Bruford and Collins pull off during Apocalypse in 9/8 are pretty insane.
Karn Evil 9 - the part where the keyboard cuts out and Lake sings "soon the gypsy queen" over Palmer's frantic drumming is one of the most awesome little sections ever.

I don't know if it qualifies as a "fill", as it is more a short drum solo / intro and not something coming out of an already established groove - however it may be, the drum intro thing on "Mahavishnu Projects" version of "Eternity's Breath" is EPIC. And the original wasn't too shabby either.

Barriemore Barlow (Jethro Tull) start-stop machine-precise snare in "The Hunting Girl" (on "Songs From The Wood"). But all that pales in comparison with Clive Bunker on Mother Goose. Who cares about technique, it's the approach! The real drummer. |

no one can fill like Phil (Collins) does hahahha cmon just listen to songs like
In The Air tonight
Easy Lover
Agst All Odds
tell me you do not want to airdrum forever to those rolls n fills, and the sound is classic boxy power............
other great fills:
Night Ranger - Sister Christian (Huge fookin drumz)
Pink Floyd - Time (Nick Mason's roto intro is classic simplicity)
Neu - Fur Immer and Hallogallo (the snare rolls by K Dinger are minimal power!!)
Journey - Faithfully (another tooom tooom tooom powerhouse!!)
