I'm on my way to playing my first Open Mic Night and the song is up to me. What's a good first song to play for a beginning drummer? I learned the beat to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" but the fills and stuff are still challenging for me. (I'm practicing, though. This week's lesson is opening/closing the high hat.)
I'm thinking something like "Gimme All Your Lovin'" by ZZ Top? Good basic rock 'n roll. And my peeps already know how to play that song. But I want something that the crowd will LOVE. I mean, it's a good song, but any interesting/innovative ideas?
(And no funny jokes like "Moby Dick" by Led Zeppelin. I WISH!)
Thanks in advance for your expertise!
