St. Louis Jesuits - Lord of Light (North American Liturgy Resources, 1981)


Break track(s): "Lift Up Your Hearts"
Drummer: unknown

A short drum break comes straight out of this, surprisingly, Christian music album released by the St. Louis Jesuits. Another unexpected find, because I bet even you weren't expecting a drum break to come out of a Christian album. I've only heard of two Christian albums with drum breaks.

After the drum break, the rest of the song plays out like a typical Christian rock song. But nonetheless, it's worth checking out.

The Ventures - Swamp Rock (Liberty, 1969)


Break track(s): "Honky Tonk Women"
Drummer: Mel Taylor

From this release comes the Ventures' rocking version of the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women". Most versions of this track, including the original, have a drum break in it.

This version has some pretty sweet guitar and it, but that doll on the cover is damn creepy.
