The first song you've ever played

[tombo74]

I recently visited my brother and we were talking about our kid and teenage years. He remembered me how much I used to drive him nuts when I first started of playing drums. He had his room right besides mine in the basement and I used to rush to finish my homeworks to get to the kit, turn up my little stereo to 10 and play what he called: ?THE SAME FUCKIN? SONGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN?.

I?m sure we all remember the first song/songs we could play from beginning to end. Oh! We were proud!

Let?s share this for fun!

Here in order are the very first songs I learned when I started in 1984:

1) Judas Priest?s ?You?ve got another thing comin?? (THE basic rock beat) I got it!!!
2) Scorpions? ?No one like you? (Quarter notes on the hi-hat and some upbeats on BD: tricky) [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
3) Dio?s ?Holy Diver? (Lots of classic rock fills) [img]cool.gif[/img]
4) Iron Maiden?s ?Run to the hills? (Two-handed sixteenth notes on hi-hat groove: Gee, that?s fast!) [img]eek.gif[/img]
5) Rush?s ?Subdivisions? (My first attempt to a more involved tune. I thought I had it but an older guy told me that what I played was nowhere near what Neil did) [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

What's yours...

Hold the Line by TOTO. But as early as Steely dan and Seals and Croft

The first song I ever played, on
the drums, was HONKY TONK WOMAN.

The next one was EVIL WAYS.

I think the next one was SOUL SACRIFICE.

After that, it had to be BLACK MAGIC WOMAN.

Two songs I kept playing over and over:

The Intro to "Oh What A Night" by the Four Seasons.
"Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter.

I thought if I could play that drum solo, I would be good. Little did I know it was two people playing!! Drove myself crazy! LOL!!! What happened to Chuck Ruff anyway?

The very first two for me were Charting The Single by Marillion and Gimme All Your Lovin' - I LOVED the intro to that song! Still can't play it tho....

I always thought that the day I could play Metallica's "Master of Puppets" perfectly, then I'd really be a world class drummer... [img]redface.gif[/img]

"Hello, I love you" The Doors, on my P.o.S. set with the incredibly bad bass drum pedal. It was total junk...

But that little tom hook in the song was pretty cool.
