I'm a member of a street drumming band called Skulldrummery and we do local gigs and play in my home town's (Lewes) bonfire celebrations.

We have a core of around 4 snare drums, 4 bases and 10 toms.....give or take and we rehearse every tuesday.

Among our current playlist is songs such as Whatever you want (Quo) No more sorry (Linken park) When the saints go marching in, Children of the grave (Sabbath) Maid of Orleans (OMD) Kings (Adam and the ants) plus others such as Hornpipe, Hiyawotha, great escape and British grenadiers.

We're looking for new material, something that all 3 drum parts can adapt to. We have a few Adam and the ans songs (killer in the home, ants invsaion, prince charming) in the pipeline plus game of thrones theme tune.

We're quite happy to see how songs go, change or tweak them and then polish them, we recently started learning Los Endos and it's taken us 6 months 2 learn yet we tried we will rock you by Queen 2 weeks ago and it's nearly perfect.

Any suggestions for new stuff ?

Of course....wow, forgot about this one

With all that percussion, Hammers, you need a bit of Latin.
Something like Oye Como Va, an old Tito Puente tune made popular by Carlos Santana

When I think of street drumming, I think of Samba.

Perhaps you could adapt something like 'Mambo No. 5' for your group? A lot of the work seems to have been done for you here!
