Default Re: Fun/Technical Drum Songs?

Y'all overkilling with Dream Theater, Scatterbrain and breakcore, this is far beyond what OP is asking for (although if you can get there someday, that would be impressive).

Based on the examples you gave, I think you can safely stay within 1990s and 2000s mainstream rock (think alternative rock, indie rock or power pop). Here's a few suggestions :

Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum. Most Arctic Monkeys songs could be too fast for you, but this one is manageable and honestly fun to play on all instruments. If you want more from them, look for A Certain Romance.

Band of Horses - Ode to LRC.

The Black Keys - Strange Times. Simple floor tom beat that sounds good. Also try Tighten Up.

Corrosion of Conformity - Albatross. Good practice for hand/legs coordination.

Grandaddy - Now It's On

Okkervil River - Blanket and Crib

Queens of the Stone Age - In the Fade. Great song, but even I have some troubles making the verses sound good, so I usually dumb it down to half the hi-hats hits.

Stone Temple Pilots - Plus. Interstate Love Song is another good one you can try.

- shit, didn't see you wanted tom drum-centric songs. But I would still recommend the songs above because they're fun and easy to play.

And, getting a double bass pedal isn't a bad idea for developping your other bad foot, but in the meantime, you can develop more complex hi-hat patterns or keep time with your other foot.
