No loops here! Just a few seconds
from what is about a 10-minute drum solo from George Suranovich
from the Mark II version of Arthur Lee's band. Copped famously
by DJ Shadow, the LP itself is an obscure psyche-rock gem. I hear
dear old 'confused' Arthur is just out of chokey too. Gawd bless
him, for he didn't just give the drummer some, but the best part
of one whole side of wax! |

Pixies 'La La Love
You'
|
|
 |
Most people of a certain age will
always adore the Pixies, and not just for Kim Deal's great
'rock' melons. What the hell else was there that was any cop
at the dog-end of the 80's? Not much. On a filler track from the
"Doolittle" LP, drummer David Lovering not only gets
to treat us to his vocal stylings, but he funks up a storm on
the kit too! |

Paul McCartney 'Momma
Miss America'
|
|
 |
The pick of the two tracks on Macca's
debut LP with great wodges of open drums on them, and all played
by the man himself. Recorded on a home studio, it shows a bit,
with drums only on the left channel, but doubled up for a bit
more punch here. A Lo-Fi break if ever there was one. |

The Stone Roses
'Daybreak'

More Roses action! Reni wasn't just
good at wearing flares and little fisherman's hats you know! One
of the few moments on their Zep rip-off LP that doesn't have about
three 'sniffing shit' guitar solos splattered all over it. The
Vulture and I were listening to this for the first time in years
recently and when this bit came on we both involuntarily screamed
'BREAK!!' in unison, and then had a knowing little chuckle. |

'I Am One'

A great chunk of, erm, smashing
drums from an early single, and one that actually quite rocks,
as they say. Not at all easy to track down on wax though. You
occasionally see the 10" on shop walls for 40 notes 'cos all the
Skate Rap Nu-Metal Dark Wave Kids, or whatever teenagers
are called these days, dig 'em still. Personally, I believe that
Billy Corgan is the Samson of the Rock world: Less hair = more
shite! |

Ride 'Dreams Burn
Down'

The Shoegazing Break! Mercy! Hey,
everyone was getting a touch of the funky drummers in those
days, and Ride we no exception. Smothered in echo and quite heavy
duty, this one deserves picking up by someone. Not many freestylers
in The Projects will have heard of this lot, I'll wager. |

The Krautrock break! And what a
thumper it is! I bet you though that Germans could never be this
funky. The tune is a flippin' belter too. Hard to come by on original
LP, but fairly easy bought on their 'Lemmingmania' best of…Already
spotted in the 'Breaks' section of a certain record shop. |

Iggy Pop 'Lust For
Life'
|
|
 |
This one is just about as plain
as the nose on your face, but has anybody copped for it yet??
Surely the Iggster doesn't even have a lawyer! Maybe it's just
too obvious. Who cares, 'cos 'Lust For Life' is a flippin' ace
LP as well and I love it! |

The Byrds 'Fido'

From the bands 'shite' period it
has to be said. But hey, a massive Country Rock Song About
His Dog drum break! Here we have the whole thing with woops
and hollers for good measure. A plop LP that can be found for
cheap in most provincial shops, and with good reason. |

Look, this is from my favourite
LP ever. There, I've said it. And I was utterly disgusted to find
a flippin' break on it, to be honest, even if it's only quite
a rudimentary one. I'm not sure I shall ever come to terms with
the prospect of the likes of Afroman robbin' this one, but they
will eventually, the sods. |

| So, there we have it, and the
beauty is, there are undoubtedly hundreds more to collect. Finally we
must come to the moral of this story: Don't look down so far at those
pale, skinny, no-burd, VU-loving wimps you sometimes call your friends
(but only when the cool kids aren't around) 'cos their vinyl stash might
just hold drum-tastic treasures beyond the wildest dreams of your Akai
