how could i forget ONE MORE RED NIGHTMARE ? amazing groove man, totally amazing. Cobhams Stratus is another great one. Once you stop and think about it, there are sooooo many.
 
I don't usually think of specific grooves, but rather groovy drummers. So those who first come to mind are Earl Palmer, Purdie, Keltner, Gadd, Al Jackson, ALL the James Brown drummers, David Garibaldi, Harvey Mason, Cobham (when he wants to groove) Dennis Chambers, Ndugu Chanceller, Steve Ferrone, Omar Hakim, Porcarro, every Steely Dan drummer, Mike Clark, ?uestlove and many many more.

If you want something to listen to right now with nice grooves, I can recomend Dennis Chambers solo CD. I think it was the last release. Very nice.

[EDIT] Just checked out the Blink 182 clip. I thought they were a punk band? That's as punk as Donna Summer. Not putting them down. It was played well enough. I guess the definition of "punk" has changed. :)

Yeah, they were 'pop-punk' for the first few, then it slowly changed. They got 'serious' about their music and it died in the arse as far as I see it.
I wouldn't have said they were ever punk though. Try Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, NoFX, Pennywise, Ramones, etc. Not Blink or Boxcar Racer or Plus 44.
 
How about:
Zep's "When the Levee breaks" (Bonham's heavenly boom chick pop)
Dire Straits' "Calling Elvis" (Porcaro owns this song)
 
Is the drummer in that video Andrew Small?

I think it might be. Original drummer on the recording is Andy Gangadeen though.


I love the song but have a really hard time listening to it these days....reminds me too much of my ex g/f :)
