| 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! |

Honor Thy Father!
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. -Stone Beard |

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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">
