The Michael Fath Group (www.michaelfath.com) did a remake of Highway Star by Deep Purple that is an absolute blast to play to.  It's off the "Suspended Animation" CD if you can find it.  He also did remakes of "Frankenstein" and (remember this one) "Hocus Pocus", which are also fun.  I think you can still get most of his stuff from his website if you're interested.  It's good to have just to listen to some of the drummers he's worked with (excellent stuff).

I learned a few of the songs I mentioned in my above post primarily by ear. Just a reminder to you: You don't have to play it 100% like the drummer does to be able to play the song. There are many ways to play songs. Try learning it by ear. :)

Sorry for the off-topic post.

I'm learning to play the song "never" by Heart,0n the drums of course,but can't seem to find the drum sheet music to it! i found the drum tab for it,but its not the same and its hard to follow.

Not aware of any.  But the songbooks available usually have lame-o drum interpretations, if they include any drums at all. 

I think your best bet may be to break the song down into sections - verse, chorus, bridge, etc., and work out each section.  If you have it on CD (or can download it from iTunes), play along with it.  Stop and start any trouble sections over and over until you're comfortable with them.  There's a little syncopation in there but its not too scary.

Good luck with it.
