Instead of the normal favorite drummer, favorite cymbal, favorite kazoo threads that seem to be so popular.
How about sharing your three favorite drumming records.
Records that have great drumming on them that really inspire you.

1. Jeff Beck "Blow by Blow"
2. Santana "Moonflower"
3. Al Dimeola "Anthology"

Yikes - why don't you ask a HARD question?!?  Okay, at the moment, it's: - Chick Corea - Friends (Steve Gadd)
- Miles Davis - Four and More (Tony Williams)
- Marty Friedman - Dragon's Kiss (Deen Castronovo)
But 5 minutes from now, it will be: - Stanley Clarke - Journey to Love (Steve Gadd)
- Missing Persons - Spring Session M (Terry Bozzio)
- Buddy Rich - The Buddy Rich Collection (Buddy Rich)
But then I'll probably change my mind to: - Gino Vannelli - Brother to Brother (Mark Craney)
- Chick Corea - The Leprechaun (Steve Gadd)
- Tony Williams Lifetime - The Collection (Tony Williams)
After which I'd have to say: - Al Jarreau - Breakin' Away (Steve Gadd)
- Peter Bernstein - Earth Tones (Bill Stewart)
- Gino Vannelli - Nightwalker (Vinnie Colaiuta)
Oh, hell - I give up! |

Three random favorites from a catalog of "thousands":
--- Steely Dan, Katy Lied: Great grooves and tasteful yet commanding playing from a 19-year-old Jeff Porcaro.
--- The "Memphis Sessions" as issued on various albums by Elvis Presley: Gene Chrisman is right on top of things with his impeccable time and fat-sounding drums. I'm also a fan of Elvis' work from this point until his death.
--- Steely Dan, Aja: Can you say "sampler"? We pretty much hear a demo reel from Rick Marotta, Steve Gadd, Bernard Purdie, Ed Greene, Jim Keltner, and Paul Humphrey of Lawrence Welk fame.

OK, it's an exercise in futility, but I'll give three of my favorites:
Rufus, "Stompin' At The Savoy" (JR Robinson)
The Police, "Every Breath You Take (The Classics)" (Stewart Copeland)
Keith Jarrett Trio, "Still Live" (Jack DeJohnette)

Geez, let's see...
The all-time no-brainer: Steely Dan - Aja - Steve Gadd, etc. (frankly, any record Gadd played on will work just fine for me.). You MUST own this recording.
Any albums by The Police - Stewart Copeland and also most Rush albums - Neil Peart...couldn't settle on just one.
And now for something completely different:
Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - A Night in Tunisia - Art Blakey
And speaking of Art Blakey, I've always known he was a jazz "master", but I never really listened to any of his records, with "A Night in Tunisia" being my first Blakey purchase a few weeks ago...and I was totally blown away. Could someone out there please point me to another fine example of Mr. Blakey's work? Otherwise, I'll have to buy every Blakey CD I can find!

Two of my favorites w/ Mr. Blakey - no big solo features, just grooves from beginning to end: Hank Mobley, "Soul Station" Nat Adderley, "Things Are Getting Better" |

The first two are easy:
1)Spectrum - Billy Cobham
An object lesson in tasteful technical playing. Awesome drum sound (Ken Scott).
2) Young & Rich - The Tubes.
Solid rock drumming with more than a little invention by Prairie Prince. Awesome drum sound (Ken Scott again!!!).
Now I can't decide between...
Belonging - Keith Jarrett (Jon Christensen on drums)
Apocalypse - Mahavishnu Orchestra (Michael Walden on drums)

The three most inspirational albums to my drumming would probably be:
1. Led Zeppelin IV
2. Nirvana "Nevermind"
3. Rush "Hemispheres"
While these aren't the only drum albums that have influenced me recently, these three are probably the ones that formed the basic foundation of how I approach playing drums.

I’m going to cheat and give four..
The Dave Weckl Band – Rhythm of the Soul
Bandlands – Erskine, Pasqua, Carpenter
Peter Gabriel – Security (Jerry Marotta’s best drumming! IMHO)
Tool – Lateralus (Danny Carey is a force.. Watch him in Vegas at the buddy Rich memorial!)
