September 17, 200520 yr Hey all what do you think are some of Wills best drum beats?Sure some songs sound like they have the same drum beat but they are all different in a way.And surely there are many that are just awesome!So what are your top favs?Here are mine. Talk-Leaked Version Speed of Sound Low Fix You I Ran Away
September 17, 200520 yr Square One is the coolest. I love the beginning of the song when Will starts But Don't Panic is maybe even better. Daylight I Ran Away Clocks And God Put A Smile Upon Your Face. I love this bang-bang-bang-bang
September 18, 200520 yr I love the drums at the start of Square One as well. Some people may take them for granted, but just listen to the drums that start "In My Place." They are just perfect. Others: I Ran Away (solo) Amsterdam (catalyst) Spies/Trouble Green Eyes Daylight Fix You and best of all: Low! I don't know how the heck Will can keep that crazy beat during the end part, but wow. Amazing.
September 18, 200520 yr I'm surprised none of you have said 'Shiver'. :D Here's my list... Shiver (love the fills and crashes) Square One (sixteenths on high-hats are always fun... :D) I Ran Away Daylight Amsterdam (teh end. :D) Crests of Waves (dunno why...) Don't Panic White Shadows (love the floor tom :D) Your World's Turned Upside Down (floor tom again. :D) and The World Turned Upside Down (I love the part when he doubles the snare a lot...) Okay. :D "I don't know how the heck Will can keep that crazy beat during the end part, but wow. Amazing." Huh? I don't hear anything crazy... 0_o
September 19, 200520 yr "I don't know how the heck Will can keep that crazy beat during the end part, but wow. Amazing." Huh? I don't hear anything crazy... 0_o Well it's definitely out of the ordinary. For the longest time I couldn't follow Will's snare beat at the end part of Low. Plus, I never even realized it, but he's also doing the symbols at the same time. That takes talent.
September 20, 200520 yr I'm surprised no one's said Spies yet. I love his drums in that song, how he does a bunch of the beat on the toms. It's awesome.
September 20, 200520 yr i like square one and speed of sound. my favorite is god put a smile upon your face. like the drumming in the song 'one i love' from the Live 2003 DVD i think there are a few extra rolls here and there

Okay. :D "I don't know how the heck Will can keep that crazy beat during the end part, but wow. Amazing." Huh? I don't hear anything crazy... 0_o Lol that'd be my list as well. I like the 1st version of Talk too.
September 21, 200520 yr im surprised that no one said IN MY PLACE its will who makes you say "ok rightt its IN DA PLACE" after 2 seconds of song (in a Sunday bloody sunday way) (square one is the other one, and daylight.)

That takes talent. its like the EASIEST DRUM BEAT EVER...well maybe not ever..VERY creative and good very good i could play it by listening to it a few times while playing the drums then it was easy best drum beats square one daylight i ran away

September 23, 200520 yr Ack! How can I forget In My Place?! That's the first song I learned to play. :)
September 24, 200520 yr ...and today I just gave "Things That I Don't Understand" a good listen, and he has a lot of good crash fills in there. Especially that part after Chris sings "or my day from night", with the five consecutive bass beats and crashes. :D Very catchy. :D *adds to list* EDIT: Oops, make that *four* consecutive crashes. :D
September 24, 200520 yr Shiver, In My Place, Fix You, Square One, I Ran Away, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
September 24, 200520 yr I think he was incredible at any songs the best drummer in the world Hehe, there's a bunch of drummers with much better chops than him, but I like his style... :D
September 26, 200520 yr I think he was incredible at any songs the best drummer in the world Hehe, there's a bunch of drummers with much better chops than him, but I like his style... :D I hear ya... He has a very 'pianist' approach when it comes to drums, absolutely unique! :D Wow, a female drummer! Not very common, I used to play a little for a couple of years, some basic stuff, and have never quite shaken off the bug since... Although I don't get to bash on a set anymore, I just move to the beats whenever a catchy one comes on... Onlookers must think I'm having a rhythmic seizure + Parkinson's or somthing :rolleyes: :lol:
