If you haven't yet seen the video of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and The Muppets' Animal facing off in an epic drum battle, hop to it. It's going to change your Wednesday morning.

In celebration of this video, of last night's performance by The Arcs at First Avenue featuring two drummers, and today's Random Vinyl pick Honky Tonk Women" from Mad Dogs and Englishmen (a tour that featured three drummers), we are dedicating our Coffee Break to this great instrument.

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that feature great drum solos, or bands with two drummers?

Drum up some ideas for us and post them below (ba-dum-ching!).

Songs Played

Led Zeppelin "Moby Dick"
The Surfaris "Wipeout"
The Beatles "The End"
Polica "Tiff"
