Dream Theater- Home

Wow, the beginning of that song rips off Forty Six & Two by Tool. Great show though.

its not ripped off. its just the same scale that is used. they are the same tempo too. forty six and two is alot more simple than this one.

Billy Cobham- Vital Transformations etc.. Well almost
any Mahavishnu song really.

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.

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!

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

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......
