Music is an integral part of our lives and sometimes it is easier for us to remember a song than anything else.
The whole point of listening to a musical song is that in a way the rhythm is synchronized with the beats of our heart.
And this is the most wonderful feeling in the world!
Although there are some musicians who usually put them on the back of a band, they are still an important part of the music.
I am referring, of course, to the drummers!!!
The majority of Rock / Metal fans may not mention them often, but they are a key part of a musical composition!!!
Sometimes, in fact, the most important!
Not a few, after all, studies that have been done and prove that drummers have the highest levels of intelligence!
Now if you are wondering why drums are associated with more advanced cognitive skills, the reason is simple for scientists!
They have a rhythmic mind!
In other words, the rhythm is always in their mind, something that helps them to always keep the rhythm and to improvise with greater comfort!
So today, since it is the “Hug A Drummer Day“, we wanted to remember some songs that the solo drums are great!
And if you cannot hug a drummer, “hug” a song!
