Your favourite Taylor licks

Sheer Heart Attack did not annoyed the shit out my neighbours, my parents, my brothers and my sister too. At one point they hide my copy of SHA, which was pointless, as I still had my Queen and Queen II albums. But back on te topic, I really dig his drumming in Great King Rat, Fat Bottomed Girls, It's Late, Dead on Time. Maybe not much drumming here, but the way Roger 'fills the gaps' in Who wants to live forever is in my humble opinion also stunning....

Tom

Yeah. Wwtlf was unique.

I like the echoing bass drum bit that's a little off and different. One could read into it a heartbeat.


Total opposite of the great roto Tom sounding bit in SHA the song.

IT'S LATE, WHITE MAN, that great big drum fill.


But my favorite for HEROIC drumming is PARTY.

Killer!

The chorus in 'Sweet Lady' is incredibly complicated. Also love the drum work on 'Let's Get Crazy'.

If we're talking solo stuff...........I always loved the intro to Airheads!

La Toya's ass, again?

Another great one, the live arrangement of Flash, with drum fills that weren't present on the studio version. They make it a more energetic rendition I feel. Of course, they don't come close to the grandness of the multilayered vocals and guitars on the original recording, but it's still good listening.

Best ever ending of TYMD?

Hell yes.

Those rototoms sound killer.

I'm pretty sure I was joking. Just rechecked this page.


They sound so trapped and enclosed that I never would have thought they were really drums.


I think I was being an asshole.

Just like suggesting the opening drums of THE INVISIBLE MAN 12"

This isn't exactly a lick, but great drumming all around. The small ride cymbal (or whatever that is) accents at e.g. 0:12 and 0:19 are just gorgeous.

I know very little about drumming. Nevertheless, I cant ignore Roger's work on both Rainbow 74 shows. Especially Father To Son and Great King Rat from the march concert! Even on Rock Montreal and Live At The Bowl he has some great drumming parts all around! Very energetic!

Agree about FTS, that version is a stunning performance from all four of them.

This is pretty much the definition of a great rock shuffle.

Also you gotta love how Roger takes Jailhouse Rock to Stone Cold Crazy speed at 1:01:00-ish. Back in the day when he didn't need a double bass pedal to do double strokes in double time.

Roger's material tends to be really hit and miss with me, but I will say that Fight From the Inside is Top 5 Queen for sure to me.

I've been really enjoying the drumming on Leroy Brown recently, e.g. at 0:35:
