Dimmu Borgir - Sorgens Kammer Del II

You can find it on youtube. It's death metal. I don't like the vocals of the song either, but the drumming is sick.

I've always enjoyed the drummer for Russian Circles, they're a post-rock band with no vocals but their drummer is sick

Ilyena - Mars Volta, The Goliath in Bedlam

Thomas Prigden is crazy. Was Simulacra is awesome too.

Friends - Atomship, Crash of '47.

Atomship broke up awhile ago, but you could probably download their album, it's pretty good.

You didn't really specify a genre so I'll just list what I listen to and like the drums of...

Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, Dream Theater, System of a Down, Black Sabbath, Dire Straits, Slayer, The Killers, The Police, Tool, Van Halen.

I dunno, can you be any more specific?

I admire a lot of drummers... Everyone from Dave Weckl to Virgil Donati, Mike Portnoy to Lars Ulrich, Vinnie Colaiutia to Chris Adler, or Jason Bittner to Yanic Bercier. But, my favorite drum piece I've seen in a long time is probably Mike Mangini playing Steve Vai's Fire Garden Suite.

Mike Mangini is awesome.

Dechristianize - Vital Remains

It's death metal, but it's the best drumming in a song I've ever heard.

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SCZv7786KY) is amazing too, it's Stevie Wonder. He's an amazing drummer, actually.

If you're looking for a drummer with a lot of groove, Tortoise could be good. They really utilize the two drummers at times. And Medeski, Martin & Wood is just sweet pocket & groove.

I was thinking more Classic or Indie rock, but maybe Metal.

Thomas Prigden is a beast on the drums but Jon Theodore was amazing as well when he was with The Mars Volta. Check out 'Drunkship of Lanterns' and well, most of De-Loused. Drunkship is probably my favorite though.

Well Keith Moon of The Who is probably the greatest drummer ever, so I suggest Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled Again, and The Seeker.

Anything by Jeff Porcaro, he's much better than Keith Moon. (Joking, but no, Keith Moon sucks).

Jeff began playing at the age of seven. Lessons came from his father Joe Porcaro, followed by further studies with Bob Zimmitti and Rich Lapore. From the start of his career, Jeff was viewed as one of the music industry's top drummers, possessing an impeccable sense of rhythm as well as a versatility that bridged virtually every style.

As a teenager, Jeff was no stranger to the L.A. music scene. When he was just seventeen, Jeff got his first professional gig playing in Sonny and Cher's touring band. During his 20's, he played on hundreds of albums, including several for Steely Dan. He toured with Boz Scaggs, before co-founding Toto with childhood friends Steve Lukather and David Paich.

Jeff is thought of today as one of the most innovative drummers of his generation[citation needed], and an example to other musicians who seek to absorb and blend a wide array of musical styles. Besides his work with Toto, he also performed as a session musician with artists such as Paul McCartney, Willy DeVille, Jackson Browne, Donald Fagen, Ricki Lee Jones, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, Roger Waters, Paul Anka, Eric Clapton, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen, and Larry Carlton.

Richard Marx dedicated the song "One Man" to him and said Jeff was the best drummer he had ever worked with.

His first touring gig was with Sonny and Cher lol, and in his time off he was in Toto. Fucking legend.
