Foo fighters - song for the dead (not deaf!)

And for pure simplicity Maroon 5 - harder to breath

If you want some of the best drum intros ever, watch this.

And this guys other videos, especially the Blinding Lights and Chase & Status ones.

El Esterpario Siberiano is 100% the most impressive and skilled drummer I've ever seen.
