Gadd kicks on AJA, Ed Greene pulls some moves on "I Got The News" too

2 that first come to mind that still blow me away are Peart's monster fill at the end of "Turn The Page" - Hold Your Fire LP (love those full tom rolls!)

Everything Timm Biery did on Frank Marino's solo albums was ultra amazing - especially fills on "Had Enough" on Full Circle LP, fills on "Ditch Queen", not mention the intro to "Strange Dreams"  - Juggernaut LP. I think Biery's work goes largely without the accolades he deserves.  (I must go see if he finished his book “The Art Of The Drums… What You Really Need To Know”(?))

Agreed. Simple is good too, like Mitch's intro to Redding's She's So Fine or his intro to Little Miss Lover (both on the Axis).

I'll have to add Mitch Mitchell's intro to "Little Miss Lover".  Big, fat, sweet groove, nothing more, nothing less.  Cool

The beginning of "Over the Mountain" is really cool....

You've gotta' give Santana credit <as usual> for their percussive intros and breaks!

The sampled-to-death groove? I dig the bridge (confound it!), especially on "D'yer Maker".

Well, since you didn't like that one, I guess I get another shot, right? Grin

Of course, and if you want to choose Bonham's riff leading to the finale of "How many More Times" ( the part where Plant is singing 'they call me the hunter ..."), be my guest.

Like James Walker, I'm going to go for a Manu Katché drum part. In this case, however, it's the intro to Badman's Song from Tears for Fears Seeds Of Love CD. Classic Manu, and simply killer.

Edit: thought it worthwhile including a clip of the intro, and a link to Wolfgang Schüler's transcriptions from the charts page on Robert Topeland's site.

I love the Jim Gordon drum break in Frank Zappa's Apostrophe' , gets me everytime I hear it. That whole song has such a cool groove to it.

The classic Stewart Copeland fill in the outro of Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.  You know the one:

da-ga-da-ga....da-ga-da-ga-da...da-ga!  

Nothing hard about it but it has to be one of the most recognizable fills in rock drumming.  It's fun listening to that song and just waiting for it.  Then nailing it while playing on the car dashboard.   Grin

Carmine Appice's groove on the Beck, Bogert, and Appice recording of "Superstition."  One of the very few I ever tried to learn note for note.

And Buddy Rich's fills on just about everything.  Perfect insertions almost without exception.

Kenny's intro drum groove on Mellencamp's "Hurts So Good"
Same goes for the intro to "All I Want" by Toad the Wet Sprocket.
You can instantly identify both of these tunes just from the intro drum groove.

Drummer Cafe rocks!

I don't know if I can call out an all time fave, but this one popped to my head inmediately: Cozy Powell MURDERING his set on the intro of Rainbow's Stargazer.

I'd never heard that song; listened to it for the first time last night and you're right, he tears up that intro.

The song that popped into my head right away was "I'm Losing You" by Rod Stewart, towards the end where the drums take over. Very cool break.
