Songs with militaristic drumming

Proceeding from there, The Ex, Dog Faced Hermans, etc.

Tommy gun- the clash
and that new M.I.A track that samples "Straight to Hell", forget title

second line beats /= military drumming. as i understand it, it's basically what happened to the euro military style after meeting afro-cuban influences in new orleans.
Yeah, that's a good point. Earl Palmer and Idris away from thread.

David Holmes - No Man's Land

Grateful Dead-St. Stephen. The version on Live/Dead

Outkast - Morris Brown

U2 to thread.
And I think probably Big Country and The Alarm as well.

Funkadelic "Uncle Jam's Army", "Field Maneuvers"

-- Shakey Mo Collier

...and "March To The Witch's Castle"

Trying to resist posting just anything with a snare drum: Dave Clark Five, "Rain," etc.

But I think this fits:

Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit"

and there's a song on Mayhem's Grand Declaration of War that has some crazy fast marches...

The Doodletown Fifers

You Pulled me UP - talking heads

Othar Turner

Vitalic - Fanfares

The Pretty Things - Provate Sorrow

'no closure', piano magic

Does Yello's "Bostich" really have "militaristic drumming"? It heavily features the snare drum, sure, but the beat is actually quite complex, not metronomic/march-like at all.

maybe just the intro, after that it's straight disco, right?

Kyuss-"Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop"

portishead - mysteron

Jack Bruce - "The Clearout"

not the full song, but "Baby Wants To Ride" (Frankie Knuckles/Jamie Principle) has that neat lil' rat-a-tat-tat break...("America!...clap your hands...I thought we loved each other...do you feel free?")

Last night I remembered that story about when Miles Davis wanted Tony Williams to go heavy on the snare he told him "play that 'Rat Patrol' stuff."

To tell the truth, I don't know what exactly Tony was supposed to play to get that "Rat Patrol" sound, but it sure sounds like it should be militaristic.

I always thought the end part of "Hunted" by Pale Saints was kind of militaristic, especially those snare rolls. But it's in 5/4 which makes it a bit of a bummer to dance to.

I was just wondering if any of those twee Sarah bands ever employed militaristic drumming, 'cos wouldn't that be a contrast...Pale Saints come pretty close...
