Check out "Inner Mounting Flame" by Mahavishnu Orchestra. Intense music and drums (provided by Billy Cobham).
Good call Pops! That one will keep him busy (and a little confused for a while). When I first started playing, a friend turned me on to that one and an album called U.K. (I think the Band had the same name) with Bill Bruford. Totally different styles but both great music and great drumming. Later, in about 1980, I saw U.K. live as a warm up for Jethro Tull. I was disappointed to see that Bruford wasn't behind the kit. I wasn't disappointed for long, the band introduced their new drummer who I had never heard of - Terry Bossio. Ratamatatt |

DaddyO - Birds of Fire was a great album! I believe Alphonse Mouson also played on at least one of Al Dimeola's albums.
Right you are! Mouson does some nifty stuff on DiMeola's "Land of the Midnight Sun", but I think I would have to go with Steve Gadd on "Casino". Gadd can do a special Latin feel that I just don't think is in Mouson's tool kit. |

Well folks I was just turned on by a coaster called"Room for Squares" by John Mayer. My son said that I should give it a listen..........WOW the production was prestine, music was outstanding and fresh to me. I seldom listen to new work unless it is gennerally Jazz, Funk, Fusion, cool and smooth Jazz. But this CD was outa site. Sorta Jazz/ R&B/Country/Blues.... type style if there is such a thing. I played track #7 a few extra times. Drums were real clean and precise. Great vocals and excellent guitar playing. Production and imagination on the tracks shows. I have many other favorites in Jazz but this CD was different. I was impressed. Jazzman  |

Return To Forever - Light As A Feather ... Airto Moreira drums/percussion
Herbie Hancock - V.S.O.P. ... Tony Williams live and on fire.
Vinnie Colaiuta, Robben Ford, Jimmy Haslip - Jing Chi ... some heavy stuff from Vinnie.
Irakere - AFROCUBANISMO! ... the Cuban jazz group that gave us Chucho Valdez, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito d'Rivera, and "Anga" Diaz live. Some incredible drums and percussion.
Sergio Mendes - Brasileiro ... not the usual fluff of Brasil '66, but some heavy hitting samba and timbalada with the help of Carlinhos Brown.

i agree clive bunker was killer, underrated in my book. i also like "yours is no disgrace" from the yes album, and "roundabout" with that maniacal organ by rick wakeman. also, the song "knife edge" on the first emerson, lake and palmer album. if you want to be beaten senseless, there's "you keep me hangin' on" by carmine appice and vanilla fudge. i bought the old album "harder.....faster" by april wine and it kicks. can anybody tell me if dino danelli from the rascals played with them at one time? i'll get off the oldy trip by mentioning lee michaels, his hammond organ, and his 325 pound drummer named "frosty"...also saw frank zappa in the late "70"s with jean luc ponty, george duke, and ian and ruth underwood. the album "hot rats" is killer. my girlfriend and my sister loved to dance to it. |

Band: Planet X
Drummer: Virgil Donati. AKA : The Thunder From Down Under.
If you haven't heard this guy, then you are missing out. Especially check out a song called "Dog Boots", in which Virgil plays an inverted double stroke roll (R L L R R L L R) through almost the entire song....with his feet.

Nice choice Mister_Arcolite. Marty Friedman's an awesome guitarist, probably one of my favorites of all time. Man, that Cacaphony pre-Megadeth stuff is killer.
If you're looking for a Metal CD with killer drumming (beyond just double bass-there is life beyond double bass), I'd recommend these two CD's very strongly. Death-The Sound of Preserverence, and Control Denied-The Fragile Art of Existance. Those two albums are the last recorded works of the late Chuck Shuldiner, and feature the drumwork of Richard Christy, who really lets his insane jazz-influenced chops fly in these two records. Not to be outdone in the double bass department either, Death's cover of the Judas Priest song "Painkiller" features Christy doing Scott Travis' drum solo-only better.
Aside from the Metal genre, I'd strongly recommend (and I'm surprised no one here has yet) getting some of those old Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich videos. Max Weinberg, drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E-Street band, has a very killer "old school" method to drumming and listening to his work is amazing. I don't think he really did anything spectacular with Bruce Springsteen (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but I believe that there are one or two Max Weinberg 7 (his band from Late Night with Conan O'Brian) CD's.
