There’s a nice mix of drum beats throughout Valerie by The Zutons. Watch out for the displaced snare in bar 27 — it’s a tricky one but a nice variation on the main grooves.
The second half of verse 2 has a one handed 16th ride line. If it’s too difficult, simplify by continuing the 8th notes. You can always add the 16ths at a later date once they’re more comfortable.
