Using a instrumental and voice remover program, I was able to extract only the drums track of the original song performed by Simple Minds and titled "Don't You (Forget About Me)! The drummer of this band (Mel Gaynor) is a truly virtuoso indeed! Song Facts: "Don't You (Forget About Me)" is a song performed by Scottish rock band Simple Minds! It was written and composed by producer Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff, a guitarist and songwriter from the Nina Hagen band. The song plays during the opening (Schiff and Forsey's demo) and closing (Simple Minds' recording) credits of the John Hughes film The Breakfast Club! Don't You(Forget About Me)/Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff/Virgin Records/A&M Records Drum track by Mel Gaynor/@1985
