Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991. A great experience to see. Maybe once in a lifetime.

Bill Bruford on the Great Deceiver off the Great Deceiver 4 CD live
1973 1974. The crims had just became a 3 piece after Cross quit. I
think Bruford holds the piece together quite well with just a crazy
guitar player and loud bassist. Also Steve Smith on the first Vital
Information album as well as Barimore Barlow`s solo on bursting out.

I am somewhat shocked here to learn that Pierre Moerlen is gone... He made his best contribution under Pierre Moerlen's Gong, in musical terms I've always perceived him like a brother to Bill Bruford. So sad.
I love what Carmine Appice did on "Break song" by Vanilla Fudge, also Alan Schwartzberg with Mountain on "Twin Peaks". Not "stricktly" prog by this site, but it is to me. Not designed to impress, but solid and very enjoyable stuff.
John Marshall on "Seven" by Soft Machine deserves a mention and Jerzy Piotrowski on "Pamiec" by SBB where he developed unique riffs, never heard before and since....
Chester Thompson is a fave, so is Dennis Chambers. I won't go into Cobham, Baker, Mouzon here - we all know of them. Do we...?
Can't get over Pierre Moerlen, have to go and put something on in his memory now.

The drummer from Ãnglagård is called Mattias Olson, and he was actually only 17 years when Hybris was released.

Absolutely. One of the greatest drummers out there today, but is rarely mentioned.
I'd say....
Phish(Fishman) - Taste
Gentle Giant(Weathers) - Boys in the Band
Jethro Tull(Bunker) - Dharma For One (Live version from Living in the Past)
Genesis(Collins) - Riding the Scree
Rush(Peart) - Anthem (first 30 seconds are classic....)
KC(Bruford) - Starless. To maintain that 13/4 sig during that manic hi-speed section is a tremendous display of natural talent.

I would have to say anything done by Neil Peart of Rush and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. But to narrow it down, Neil Peart - La Villa Strangiato, Mike Portnoy - Dance of Eternity, oh sooo many to choose from......

I'd like to add Daniel Denis (Univers Zero). He's outstanding, specially at "Heresie".

One of my favourite performances is Pierre Moerlen's drumming in "Isle of Everywhere", studio or live. But the fine points of the drumming on that track are probably noticeable for a drummer only. The way the drumming slowly and organically builds up here, until Moerlen finally is all over the place, is really amazing. Another good example of his drumming is "Zero the Hero", especially in the "Live au Bataclan" version. |
Great!! Pierre Moerlen was fantastic with Gong!

That and Anything Lenny White
with Return To Forever. |
Billy Cobham on MO's Birds Of Fire - here the first person using new drum materials on record - listen to the crispness of each beat on the snare, and the speed of playing. Of course BC's Spectrum.
Alphonse Mouzon, is sometimes called the poorman's BC, but is magic playing with Larry Coryell on Back Together Again, and with Pastorius/Mangeldorff: Berlin Days.
Lenny White, sure but I prefer post RTF - Big City and more recently the major jazzfunk/rock album Edge.
Ginger Baker and Keith Moon always stood out as having individual sounds . Try Baker with Jonas Hellborg and Jens Johansson on Unseen Rain, and Quadraphenia for Moon and the Who.
Jon Hiseman with Colosseum Those Who Are About To Die
Gary Husband or Chad Wackerman with Holdsworth; IOU or All Night Wrong, respectively.
Bill Bruford especially on his Feels Good To Me
Ander Johansson known more a metal drummer, will surprise many with his fuller range: his own Red Shift is an intriging mix of percussion, Heavy Machine with Holdsworth & Jens Johnasson, as part of the Jonas Hellborg Group on e (power jazz rock), part of The Shining Path's No Other World (jazz rock musicians do thrash etal)
Dennis Chambers on too many albums to list - try Time Crunch with Niacin.
Tony Williams on Stanley Clarke's eponymousy titled second solo album
Steve Smith: many of his own and as a member of various groups , issued on Tone Center Records in the last decade, e.g. albums with Larry Coryell, Tom Coster, Stu Hamm, etc.
