A Note On Playing The Videos: Depending on your browser speed, it might be beneficial for you to, after you first press the play button, pause the video and let it load some before you begin watching. That way your viewing will not be interrupted with periodic loading pauses.

Also: Some of these videos play versions of the song (i.e. live versions) that may differ from the transcribed version in our drum charts. Most, however, are identical to our transcribed version. In any case, the exact audio can always be downloaded for around $1 from the Amazon MP3 store.

"Thank You (Falletin Me Be Mice Elf)" by Sly & The Family Stone

"Things Have Changed" by Bob Dylan
Sly Stone's funky masterpiece went straight to number one on the charts in 1970. In retrospect, the groove maintained by bassist Larry Graham and drummer Gregg Errico seems like a logical extension of what James Brown had been doing for a few years, with the Family Stone's appeal decidedly more mainstream. From the 2000 movie Wonder Boys, "Things Have Changed" received both a Golden Globe award for Best Song and an Academy Award for Song Of The Year. Thanks to Alan Klier for requesting this chart.

This video features Dylan performing at the AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute To Michael Douglas.

"Things We Said Today" by The Beatles
"Think" by Aretha Franklin
From the 1964 movie soundtrack of A Hard Days Night, "Things We Said Today" was also the B side of the single, "A Hard Days Night." Paul wrote this while vacationing in the Bahamas. Aretha Franklin is called the Queen of Soul Music for a reason: she really is. "Think" was her ninth Top 40 hit. This 1968 hit features some of the same musicians on her previous chart hits: "Respect," "A Natural Woman," and "Chain Of Fools," and "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)." For all of us drummers, you could not go wrong if you played like Roger Hawkins, the drummer on this soulful hit.

"Time Is Tight" by Booker T & The MGs
"Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles
"Time Is Tight," released in 1969, was the sixth Top 40 hit for Booker T. & the MG's - not a bad record as far as instrumental groups go. The heyday of the rock instrumental was from 1956 (with Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk") to 1963 ("Wipe Out," by the Surfaris). Booker T. Jones played the Leslie organ, Steve Cropper played guitar, Donald "Duck" Dunn played bass, and Al Jackson, who unfortunately was murdered in 1975, played the drums. From the 1966 album, Revolver, this is the Beatles' most psychedelic song.

"Travelin' Man" by Ricky Nelson
Ricky Nelson grew up in front of television audiences on his family's show, "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet." "Travelin' Man" was written by Jerry Fuller, while waiting for his wife in a park. With an atlas with him, he looked up different places around the world as he wrote the song. After pitching the song to Sam Cooke's manager, who threw it in the trash, Ricky's bass player Joe Osbourne, heard it, retreived it, and the rest is history.
