When I was a kid I wanted to be a drummer. Two of
the first singles I bought were Dance with the Devil
by Cozy Powell and Radar Love by Golden Earring
because I liked the drumming on them so much.

Danny Carey on the songs "Push*t" and "Ænima".

Ginger Baker on live version of "Toad"

Neil Peart on "O Baterista" from the In Rio DVD.

TheProgtologist pretty much nailed it though

Pierre Moerlin - Master Bulider (Gong - You (1974))

Christian Vander - Mekanik Zain (Magma - Live (1975))

Well everything Magma did contained unbelievable drumming, but his performance (with stunning contribution by Didier Lockwood on violin) in the 20-minute version of "Mekanïk Zaïn" from the 1975 live record is perhaps the most breathtaking.

Jaki Liebezeit – Halleuhwah (Can – Tago Mago (1971))

Robert Wyatt – Part of the Dance (Matching Mole (1972))

Phil Collins - the exerpt from Supper's Ready "Apocalypse in 9/8".

The feel for the time sig in this song blows me away. It has to be completely improv but he hits the crash on the "1" of every measure while not holding a formatted pattern. No structure yet he knows exactly where he is. I wonder how the other musicians in the band keep their time during this segment.

Anything by Michael Giles (at least for King Crimson) is amazing

Neil Peart on the live "Rush in Rio" DVD/CD, Richard Christy on Death's "Live in L.A." album, Flo Mournier on Cryptopsy's "Phobophile", DragonForce's David Mackintosh on "Valley of the Damned", whoever played on Ozzy's "Over the Mountain", Andy Galeon of Death Angel on "The Ultra-Violence," and Nick Mason's playing on "Division Bell". I love his drumming on that album- not complicated, fast, or flashy, but incredibly tastefully-placed and... well, it just goes by that less-is-more principle, which I think is true in this case.

Oh, and my band's drummer on our version of "Wipeout". He is one crazy dude...
