Drummers. Really hard. Tool has a few that are fantastic. Helmet too. Rollo is a great drumming song by Helmet. August Burns Red’s Thirty and Seven is a great drumming performance. Intolerance probably my fav drumming song by Tool.
Stewart Copeland on One World
Ginger Baker on White Room
Keith Moon on Slip Kid
Charlie Watts on Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’
Topper Headon on Complete Control
Charlie Watts on Time Waits for No One off of It's Only Rock n Roll. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums. The drums set the tone on that song.
If you haven't heard that album in a while, give it a listen (or if you're less than 60 years old, give it a listen). It's unheralded because there are no big hits, but the album really holds together as a great piece of art.

I really think Fear Inoculum showcased drums in a way none of their earlier albums.
While far from my favorite Tool album, the drums really shine
I was referring to Aja the song, not the album, but no disagreement! Bernard Purdie is awesome, what a groove, and I think Jim Keltner is on one tune. And one other guy on one tune, I believe.
I second Time Waits for No One. Also song with best Stones guitar work.
Bonham...Fool in the rain
And then for other reasons...A Day in the Life. Ringo's timing and gentle fills are exquisite if you listen for them. The essence of playing within the song.

Yes, I mean the song, as well. I think it is among Steely Dan's most underrated cuts. Live it is simply thrilling.
please watch the link to the second post. I love all the drummers mentioned and have heard them but Clem Burke stands out. Blondie was a talented group that the young SomeFan saw at Kenny’s Castaways on several occasions.
Selway is so fantastic. I particularly dig his drumming in The National Anthem.
Bryan Devendorf of The National is phenomenal, especially on Bloodbuzz Ohio and Afraid of Everyone. I think I'd pick Bloodbuzz Ohio as the song with my overall favorite drumming.
Just too many to list. I really like Charlie Watts in the opening to Honky Tonk Woman, so simple and yet so perfect. Neal Peart on YYZ, Ringo on a Ticket to Ride, Keith Moon on Pinball Wizard, Bill Bruford on about any early Yes song, Ginger Baker In the White Room and I don't think I've even gotten past 1980 yet, lol
I'd argue right drummer wrong song. Pneuma - ( New Window )
For sure, must listen to Pneuma live cam several times a week. There’s something about Ticks and Leeches that gets me every time though. His speed, power and precision is simply insane.
Ian Paice is easily one of the most underrated drummers of all time.
Yes there has been better but if you actually listen to a lot of Deep Purple outside of the dozen songs that get radio play.
Some of the stuff he has played is incredible. It is a shame that he does not get his due credit.
As for a favorite. There are so many, but Scott Travis of Judas Priest playing Painkiller. Pure, raw power drumming. Easily up there for me. Painkiller - ( New Window )
but doddamn, Clem Burke was the man on drums. Dominant. Clem - ( New Window )
Clem Burke is great. Besides Blondie he played with all the biggies like Peter Townsend, Eurythemics, Dylan, The Ramones, and many others. Also in the R&R HOF.
so I can't speak to difficulty or how technical a drummer is but I always heard people rave about Jeff Picarro in general and especially on Rosanna (which he admits to basing it somewhat on Fool in the Rain), which made me a fan of Toto as a kid. Another that stands out to me is Jim Fox of James Gang with Funk #49.
Prisoner - ( New Window )
Ginger Baker on White Room
Keith Moon on Slip Kid
Charlie Watts on Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’
Topper Headon on Complete Control
That’s a start.
When the Levee breaks Led Zep
And Phil Collins deserves inclusion as well, IMO.
Yes' Five per Cent for Nothing off of Fragile. odd drumming that required discipline.
I like the drumming on Karn Evil 9 by ELP.
Moby Dick Live, 1972 by Zeppelin

Max Weinberg on My Love Will Not Let You Down. Live version is best.
All the playing on Aja is incredible.

1983 a merman I should turn out to be and just in general underrated
On Broadway (cued to the drum piece).... - ( New Window )
Monster drumming here by Bill Ward.
Blondie’s drummer Clem Burke stood out to me a long time ago for his high energy and solid grooves. Fun drummer to watch.
I'd argue right drummer wrong song.
Pneuma - ( New Window )
The aforementioned "Rollo" by John Stanier
Dale Crover on "Lizzy"
Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor on "Overkill"
🤘🤘

Thanks. Hoping this would be overlooked.
…But Trampled Under Foot by Led Zep is amazing. Bonham is truly amazing on some of those fills.
4:50 mark - ( New Window )
Better known as Hal Blaine. Not one song in particular but how about his session drumming on 150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one!
As for my favorite drummer, that’s easy: Ginger Baker.
Gotta be the Dueling Devils Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead. Anything they did was great by me!

Good call on Hal Blaine.

Here he is tackling the Aja solo.

I hate that band but yeah, that guy is an incredible drummer.
I always really liked Steve Perkins from Jane's Addiction too.
