MANIAC - The most INSANE drum pattern of the '80s (2025x3)

Air date: Jun 03, 2025

The drum pattern of Michael Sembello's "Maniac" is positively insane. It's what you'd get if you made a Synthwave drum track, decided it wasn't complex enough, glitched it up with a tiny dash of Aphex Twin and then put a second drum track on top of that with over a dozen Tom fills for good measure. Pure '80s maximalism with two of the most iconic drum sounds of that era.
