September – Earth, Wind & Fire

You mean the song from Trolls?

Um, maybe! This song has had a resurgence since the release of the film Trolls in 2016. Being a featured song on the soundtrack album guaranteed people rediscovering it. It also meant that my five year old daughter discovered it for the first and demanded that Daddy play it. A lot!

Thankfully for me, the song has two redeeming features. The first is that I actually like the song! Being written in 1978, the song has stood the test of time and sounds great no matter how modern producers try to “reimagine” it! The second is that the drum part itself is massively reliant on one of my favourite floor filling grooves: the four on the floor!

A lovely track that’s easy to play, this is one song that should be on every drummers must play list!
