OTMFM. I remember someone somewhere on this board referring to Bruford's fills on that part as "professorial" - and not in a pejorative way.

The drum solo in Talk Talk's 'Desire' kinda owns this thread, though. As does The Secret Machines' 'First Wave Intact' in its Josh Garza-powered entirety. And, unbelievably, Blur's unknown early song 'Slow Down', from Leisure, features some insane stuff from Dave Rowntree in the extended middle eight (I think the song was written, and named, for him).

1) Pharaoh's Dance - the opening groove. I love the way the kick is almost exclusively on the upbeats, and it has such a distinct pitch. And the snare and hi-hat are so light and tasty.
2) Spanish Key - that shit is FONKY and even Diddy noticed
3) Miles Runs the Voodoo Down - I'm always trying to imitate this style - underplaying and rarely hitting more than one surface at once
4) Double Image (from complete BB sessions) - so deceptively simple again, but so great. I love the way the drums, but really the whole band, plays with the beat in a very elastic way.

"His Wife Refused", from David Byrne's The Catherine Wheel; Yogi Horton's playing on this track is not to be believed, especially the fills, which are unlike anything else I've heard.

Well, I have learned to accept that the groove itself was a good one, but the snare sound sounded annoyingly old-fashioned in the early 90s.

808 state - flow coma (afx remix)
this track kinda hooked me into aphex twin.. the sticky funk and energised pulse of it. primarily the less cluttered moments of his tracks (where there's more space) are what draw me in, like when the hi-hats are muted (intro, and tail-end) on AFX Acid 04 (analord)

The way Greg Saunier (generally) rears up and readies to pounce on an instant, on various tracks. the first track of Reveille, for example - you can feel his anticipation as the track builds, it's really charged and alive. almost like my friend's dog, when you grab her attention with a tasty morsel (or anything), holding it up above your head and twitching it to suggest the release.. the way she shuffles her weight on her front feet, with eager anticipation. well, not necessarily like a dog. but, you know

Steve Smith does a really cool across his kick drum and floor tom before the second chorus starts on Journey's "Separate Ways". I've tried to get a couple drummers to steal it but with no luck so far.
It's this one...

The Meters "Look-A Py Py." Even if Leo, George, and Art weren't contributing their equally essential parts, I could listen to Zigaboo's drum groove as a solo on repeat.
