First song you played
 

Hey, remember the first song you played? but even more so.. remember how hard it was back then and how easy it is now?
the first song I learned to play was parachutes by coldplay so I guess that Will champion and his drum part will always hold a special place in my heart long live first steps and long life progress

i think the first tune i ''practiced with''...rock of ages - def leppard (pyromania)

I think it was Californicatio by red hot chili peppers. either that or daughter by pearl jam. I thought i was king of the world when i played them.

blue monday hahah those were the days

Anthem For The Year 2000 - Silverchair haha, and boy was that a complex bit of music back then.

Scorpions - Big City Nights

Oh yeah! Playing to ze germans, oh yah!

let's see... the first song I tried to play was "Toxicity", by System Of A Down. Took me forever before I was "good" enough to play that. Some of my other first achevements:
my first ghost notes with RHCP "Californication", stupidly easy 3:2 polyrhythm with RHCP "By The Way", first jungle toms rhythm was "Chop Suey". At the time that crap was hard!

heh, well, i had learned to play a lot of pieces of songs. some iron maiden, slayer (man i freaked out when i learned the war ensemble solo), but the first song i probably played all the way through was metallica's seek and destroy..

lars ulrich..wtf do u expect?!

black sabbath - symptom of the universe

I really "improvised" during that solo part.

ACDC back in black :D

Good choice!

lol
hammerfall - hammerfall
loved that song :)

Some songs by Die Toten Hosen, famous German punk band :D . That was some time ago...!!

Chickmagnet or Middlename by Mxpx. I can't remember which. Although I suppose that was after playing church songs for a few months. The hardest thing I can remember learning to do was 16th note doubles with my right foot while playing 8th note beats. Those were the days!

Not that I'd go back, by any means!!!

i suppose it was Faith no More - Midlife Crisis ;)

The first song I played was Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons.
At first I thought it was so hard to play, but when you study a bit, it's quite playable.

"System of a down - toxicity" is a good one! I often play that song with my mp3-player..! You can do a lot of sick crap during all those fills!

Nirvana with pots, pans and chopsticks :D

TOM SAWYER, I thought my right hand was going to FALL OFF!

suprisingly, TOOL, AENIMA the song, i just loved it, then i started to learn metallica songs, then like old school 70's funk like disco inferno. lol

wild thing the Grogs

Nothing else matters (metallica)

Metallica - Sad but true !!! :D

Your gonna laugh at this one but, the first song I ever played was the Japanese intro to Drangon Ball Z "Cha la head cha la" on a junior kit.

That opening drum beat to Scentless Apprentice by Nirvana was intriguing. So I decided to learn that. I was into Nirvana and Metallica when I started playing around '94 or '95.

I cant remeber exactly but it was deffinitly a Green Day song at my first rehersal my the gitarist of my band, years later he still tells me that after that day he never can hear as good with his ears. lol Well now (about ten years later) this is what that day turned in to. Our band www.justicetonight.com (the stuff you can download from there is old and do not represent my playing any moore)

Espen (lord volt)

Rosanna - Toto ........haha! i wished....

damn i can't really remember which the first exact song i played along.
it's either....

Boy's Don't Cry - The Cure
Money For Nothing - Dire Straights
Sultan of Swing - D S
I Saw her standing there - the beatles
Magtanim Ay di Biro - the dawn

.....etc etc

Zappa's Black Page ?? :cool:

I'd been air drumming Kiss tunes, forever, so I'm sure it must have been a Kiss tune that I attempted when I actually got a real (real piece o' sh**) kit.

it was "breed" from Nirvana... I played in 1999

Why is your screen name the slang name of McDonald's?

Deep Purple-Smoke On The Water
ZZ-Top-Give Me All Your Lovin'

hahah!!!

I found a tape last summer of the first time I sat down at the kit...

I think it was "Disco Inferno"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha - when i first started my band with my mate, i was so proud when i learnt to play 'Master of Puppets' by Metallica

I honestly cant remember the first song i sat down and learnt the whole way through...but i remember i was in a fit when i learnt to play the stick clicking bit at the start of 'Pwitl' by Virg! lol good times...

Smoke on the water,of cours this was the late 70`sback the thats what all starting drummers learned first

Peter Gunn... and then We Got the Beat.. for school band... We Got the Beat was a ***** cause of the three consecutive bass drum notes... :p :p :p Those were the days, LOL! :D

Well lets see ill give u guys a little list of songs i learned when i first started.For whom the bell tolls,unforgiven,anthem of the year 2000,blue monday,popular,and various other easy songs. and o ya i forgot to mention scar tissue.I loved playing that song and as a matter of fact im gonna go play it now :cool:

Hmm.. So you're saying that you could do the stick-clicking of Pwitl in your beginning-periode..?! That's insane and I find if very hard to believe! I've been playing drums for 4 years now, and recently have figured out how to do the clicking, and I find it very hard to master...

You speak of mastering that clicking as a nostalgia..! Like: "Yeah, I played that ages ago..!"

Are you such a big talent or am I such a loser? :)

House of the Rising Sun- The Animals

my first ever wong played was by scorpions - still loving you..!! :D

nothing else matters. it was the worst performance ive ever heard :)))))))

how do you do the stick clicking thing..???
:confused:

can teach me..? :D
