Hello this is my list of the best and most fun songs to play on the drums for me. The only rule I tried to keep it to two songs per band and has to be metal (or very close to it). Enjoy
Also the songs I didn't add, but are very fun are Liquid Tension Experiment: Paradigm Shift, Another Dimension, Blotted Science: Oscillation Cycles, and Rush: Spirit of the Radio.

1.Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons

2.Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake

3.Dream Theater - Awake

4.Animals As Leaders - Animals As Leaders

5.Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia

I guess I'm just liking the idea of making lists on the internet. Metal gives me a nice thing to focus on. Now, for my favorite metal band!!

I'm sure you'll notice that I have not included Polaris or Elysium on the list and that is intentional. I don't hate the albums, I just find them hard to compare to the rest of Stratovarius' work, like apples to oranges. Timo Tolkki might not have been the greatest of guys, but I think he was pretty essential to the Stratovarius sound (at least for me). The new Stratovarius just sounds like a different band to me. Maybe in the future I'll include the newer stuff, but not now.
