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.

OK, I'm a drummer and I'll have fun with this.  Let's create a Top 100 Drum Performances list.  You suggest a song with great drumming and I'll list them.  The criteria will be "These songs display a technical talent of the drummer, and the drummer's ability to display an outstanding drum performance".  OK, suggestions?

1.  21st Century Schizoid Man / Michael Giles (King Crimson / In the Court of the Crimson King)
2.  Scene Six: Home / Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater / Scenes From a Memory)
3.  Stream of Consciousness / Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater / Train of Thought)
4.  Isle of Everywhere / Pierre Moerlen (Gong / You (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 3)
5.  Firth of Fifth / Phil Collins (Genesis / Selling England By the Pound)
