If you guessed Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," then give yourself a gold star. When I got to the office, I put together a collection of drum fills and intros for a little quiz. Another one eventually followed, and another. With the new year upon us, I've decided to make them a more regular affair on the All Songs Considered blog.
Below are six drum intros and fills. Match the intro or fill to the album it's from. If you get it right, the artist and song names will appear.
