Every listening drummer hears tracks that impress them drum-wise, and some then wonder who the drummer is.
Is anyone aware of any reference source?

I've had good luck finding out who the drummer was on particular tracks by doing a google search - nine times out of ten there'll be a wikipedia page for the artist who's song it is (or if I search by song title, a page for the song, with the names of who recorded the original version and anyone else who may have recorded it), and a personnel list for the recording in question.
But even then, everything you find on the Internet cannot be assumed to be correct. Use it more as a guideline
In my experience Wiki is pretty solid on this, lists 'personnel' on most albums, track by track (compares well with my hard copies).

What-chu talking about, Bo?!
You mean that some of the stuff I find online ain't the truth?
My world just crashed in on me.
Yet I would swear by the sound and style of the drumming, that it was Purdie playing on Freeway Jam.
