i would have to go with "Deloused in the Comatorium" by the Mars Volta...
some really good drumming goin on there; which continues on to other albums of theirs
but also, Zeppelin IV i think is an obviously good album for drumming too, along with all the older zeppelin albums showing off Bonzo's power
(Anyways, this topic could be argued forever)
Too many favorites to list but here's a few.
Pat Travers - Go for what you know ( My favorite Aldridge stuff, some say it's sloppy but I think it's great, try imitating it ! )
Good one. I haven't heard that one in years. Excellent album. I liked Tommy best when he was with Pat T. I don't know about FAVORITE album, but very good.
I don't think this was ever an argument.
Birds of Fire - Mahavishnu Orchestra
And any Primus album I really can't pick one!
""Free For All" Art Blakey
Totally killer Art Blakey at the drum chair leading/driving the band and every track is a masterpiece in regards to both writing and jazz ensemble playing. Another milestone recording and a musically drum featured masterpiece."
Yeah! I'll bring up my post again:
"I'm gonna throw one track:
Art Blakey's "Free For All" on the album "Free For All"
It was his "Don't forget about me!" track in '64 when Elvin and Tony were getting all the praise."
The reason I say "one track" is because he doesn't drum like that on the rest of the album....He *almost* gets there on that Freddie Hubbard tune (name escapes me right now but it's an acronym...track 4, I think)
