Best drumming album of all time?

i know maybe its not the best but i like time out of dave brubeck quartet, improvising with all those odd time signatures is really entertaining

I enjoy Time Further Out even more. Not as many 'hits;' but on Far More Drums Morello does a lot of work betweens his feets and hands; but don't tell Carmine Appice, it was Morello who invented those Bonham triplets. (unless there's an earlier example)

Also don't remind him that it was Elvin Jones in the early 60's who perfected the triplet subdivisions around the kit commonly heard today that the later generations and most notably certain late 60's early 70's well known rock drummers totally embraced the use of.
 
Few more to add to my list:

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers- Moanin' (Art Blakey

Radiohead- The Bends (Phil Selway)

Try!- John Mayer Trio (Steve Jordan)

the poision by bullet for my valentine, moose is awesome IMO, not exactly a master technician but his double bass is good and it has a great feel. plus the band is awesome.
 
The most inspiring drumming albums for me were;

The Police- Zenyatta Mondatta, Regatta de Blanc
Tool- Lateralus, Aeminia
Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet
Dave Brubeck- Time out
Led Zeppelin- Physical Grafitti, How the West was Won
Rush- Moving Pictures, 2112, Permanent Waves
Metallica- And Justice for All ( The reason why I started drumming.)

So thats my list.
 
Lots of good albums here. I'd like to point out "Blue Matter", John Scofield with Dennis on the drums. Incredible.
 
Today is the Day - In the eyes of God

Brann Dailor's drumming on this album is awesome. IMO he's yet to surpass his work on this album with anything he's done with Mastodon. (Not knocking Mastodon, as they're also f***ing amazing)

Grand Unification - Fightstar (With one of the most under-rated drummers of recent times, Omar Abidi)

Peace of Mind--- Iron Maiden

Nicko McBrain doesnt seem to sit still at least for the first 5 songs, I try to play along but I cant, so I go the Keith Moon way!!

Steely Dan's drumming by Steve Gadd, Bernad Purdie etcc.. are so perfect that it bores me!.
 
I'm new here to Drummerworld. Looking forward to interacting with you all and learning from each other. Just wanted to introduce myself ... and add a couple to this already stellar list: I'm probably repeating a few of your choices but here goes:

Shawn Lane, Jeff Sipe and Jonas Hellborg - Temporal Analogues of Paradise
Tool - Aenima (Danny Carey)
Tony Williams Lifetime - Million Dollar Legs
John Coltrane ( w Elvin) - Love Supreme
Allan Holdsworth - Secrets (w Vinnie)
Pat Metheny Group - Debut (Danny Gottleib)
Billy Cobham - Spectrum
Sly & Family Stone - Fresh (Andy Newmark)
Herbie Hancock - Flood (Mike Clark)
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters (Harvey Mason)
Steely Dan - Aja (Gadd, Purdie)
John Scofield - Pick Hits Live - Dennis Chambers
Bill Stewart - Live @ Modern Drummer Festival (VHS)
Brian Blade Fellowship - Red River Revel
Mahavishnu - Inner Mountin Flame (Cobham)
Chick Corea - Eye of the Beholder (Weckl)
Weckl - Master Plan

That's a good start for now ... :)
 
Hi All,

Aren't there a lot of great drummers ! A lifetime worth of listening.

But when it comes to choosing 1 only, there is 1 only:

"Gong" is the band
"You" is the album

Please have a listen to (the late) Pierre Moerlen on this album !!
- pulsing rythms, exploding fills and weaving melodies of mallet percussion
- entrancing but note it takes a few mins to build into the real drum bits

The Who's Live at Leeds album definatly shows Keith Moon in his drumming prime.

I have to admit, proud to admit. I agree. Physical Graffiti is my favorite drum museum
