Drum Fill Friday: Beat Week Edition

I hope you had a good, long, refreshing break over the holidays. Or should I say... drum break? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sigh.

After a brief rest to make room for all of our Best Of 2014 coverage, Drum Fill Friday is back. We kick off the new year with a collection of fantastic fills, breaks and beats by the iconic drummers featured on NPR's Morning Edition this week. If you missed it, every day this week, Morning Edition has profiled legendary musicians behind some of the most popular rhythms and fills of all time, from bongo player Bobbye Hall to tabla legend Zakir Hussain. You now have two names of the drummers featured in this week's puzzle. Of course, you have to figure out what songs they played on. Good luck, careful listeners!

If you have a drummer or a fill you'd like to see featured in these weekly puzzlers, let us know in the comments section or via Twitter @allsongs, #drumfillfriday.
