I like good drums & percussion and rhythm in music, why I dedicated this CD to myself. Enjoy

01-Rare Earth - Get Ready (1969, 20+ min): PART 1: 10 min    Part 2: 10 min     Meet the Drummer (original?)
Best Drums here. The drums really pick up after the 5:30 min initial vocal, getting better and better in Part 2. Play the parts from the links above to avoid the Revised version! Rare Earth was the 1st white band in Motown!

02-Santana (1969 Original Band): Carlos Santana (guitar, vocals), Gregg Rolie (organ, piano, vocals), David Brown (bass guitar), Michael Shrieve (drums), Michael Carabello & Jose 'Chepito' Areas (timbales, congas, percussion))     Evil Ways (1969, 3:27min)    Soul Sacrifice (1969, 6:39)
Abraxas Album (1970): Black Magic Woman (5:34)    Borboletta Album (1974): Canto de los Flores (3:46)    Give And Take (5:55)
Mirage (4:44)    Flor De Canela/Promise Of A Fisherman (9:56 Best percussion!) Amigos Album (1976): Dance Sister Dance (8:16)
Gitano (6:19)    Europa (5:10)    These tracks are the best of all Santana music. Other good drums and percussion pieces are:

03-The Trammps - Disco Inferno (1976, 6:29 min)
04-Vangelis - Blade Runner (1982, 4:40 min)
