Drum Fill Friday: Bride Of Drum Fill

People often stop me on the street and ask, "Dude, what's with Drum Fill Friday? How are you picking that stuff?" Most of the fills come to me in peyote-induced fever dreams. Otherwise, I mostly just pick songs that have moments in them - fills and intros - that make me want to air-drum. They aren't all legendary or particularly defining moments — just awesome moments. As with all the stuff we do on All Songs Considered, they're songs I love.

As always, if you have a fill (or drummer) you'd love to see included in a puzzler, let us know in the comments section or via Twitter @allsongs #drumfillfriday.
