This week's puzzler draws mostly on Top 40 hits and as such, should be pretty easy for some careful listeners. Then again, every time I say that people tank ... just like they get near-perfect scores whenever I think it's a particularly hard week. So what do I know?

I do know that Drum Fill Friday is going on a brief hiatus after this week for some technical maintenance work. But we hope to back in a few weeks.

In the meantime, we'll be stocking up on great drum fills for our glorious return. 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.
