my band are playing at a "battle of the bands" contest and we need to get some cover songs to play. were already playing 3 of our own songs but we need some covers.

what songs would you like to hear if you were listening they need to be quite easy to play for drums because our drummers still learning and they needto be quite heavy

Well I went to see a drum concert at my son's school. They've only been learning for a couple of years. They all had to play along to a tape, two of the kids did "Highway to Hell" by ACDC, so that must be easy!

If you can pull that one off, I tip my hat.
 
more seriosuly, just pull out a metallica. Lars's drumming is fairly straight foward and the songs are fun to rock out on.

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Do something by Rainbow like Run With the Wolf.

My band covered Come to Daddy by Dillinger Escape Plan (originally by Aphex Twin, but the DEP version is more of our style). The drumming on the original is a bit challenging, so we just simplified it a bit. The chord progression is really easy (we managed to get it down in less than an hour) and sounds cool, so it might be a good choice for you guys too.
