Chastening, isn't it?  :(

Weirdest thing. Play those clips backwards, and you can distinctly hear a satanic voice saying "woodshed ... woodshed ... woodshed ..."

ROTFLMAO

Well, I thought it was time this thread got bumped.

Here's a clip from High Wire, the final track from Come on In, the most recent CD from Steve Smith and Vital Information.

It's breaking the rules a bit at more than 30sec (nearly a full minute, in fact) but it would have been criminal to cut this in the middle.

That CD is great!  Some of the playing on High Wire reminds me of Steve Gadd on Chick Corea's Three Quartets.

These arent as great as some of the previously mentioned tracks before, but I always dug them.

Phil Ehart on 'Spider' off of "Point of No Return" by Kansas. Pretty sick actually.

Lee Kerslake on 'Easy Livin' from Uriah Heeps "Demons And Wizards". I realize its one of their more popular tunes, but he does well on it.

Bill Bruford on 'Heart of the Sunrise' off of "Fragile" from YES.

Jim Gordon on 'Overture' off of Mason Williams Phonograph record. I've wanted Mr. A. to hear this for along time and its only a minute long. My bad for not burning that correctly the first time.

Jeff Porcaro on 'Goodbye Girl' off of Toto's self titled album. The ride is killer.

Tony Brock on 'Head First' off of the same titled album from the Babys. Its not ungodly, but he's an underated talent throughout the entire album.

Well, if some how Extreme can include busy....
I'm  a very busy drummer, and as such, my "busy drummer idols" would have to be:
Mitch Mitchell - Jimi Hendrix
BJ Wilson - Procol Harum (among others)
Keith Moon - The Who
And sometimes John Densmore of the doors could be quite busy
bonham of led zeppelin and pasillas of incubus too

Thought I'd have another crack at resurrecting this thread.

Here's two clips from the irrepressibly short and cuddly Simon Phillips, taken from Derek Sherinian's Black Utopia CD from 2003.

First is just an  http://www.moonbeams.plus.com/axisofevil_snip.mp3]unashamed example of "rolling thunder"  (around 0:30 here), from the track Axis of Evil.

The second is my favourite. There's a rip-snorting version of Jeff Beck's Star Cycle on this CD (on which Simon originally played too, some 24 years ago), and at the end of the bridge Simon rips a deceptively simple fill.  http://www.moonbeams.plus.com/starcycle_snip.mp3]It's at about 0:37 in this clip . Try and play it with the dynamics he uses. It's almost like he plays four mini-cresc within it.

Egadds! I hadn't seen this until now. Unreal. Simon is devastating.

Moose, we have to get together next time I'm over there.

I'll bring some choice CDs with me.

I figured by now someone would have said Gadds playing in  Aja by Steely Dan.Not sure if its "over the top" but he sure is getting busy.

(Drags thread out from its dusty spot underneath the stairs, checks it for signs of life and props it on a chair)

Iââ,¬â,,¢ve got some important news. Are you listening? Good.

Alright. Here it is.

Vinnie Colaiuta is an alien life form from another galaxy.

A galaxy that contains solar systems and planets just like our own Milky Way. But on Vinnieââ,¬â,,¢s planet, drums, cymbals and sticks grow freely and abundantly. Much like the way wild green grass grows on our own God given Earth. The inhabitants play drums as naturally as we draw breath.

There. Iââ,¬â,,¢ve said it. Prove me wrong.

That seems to be the only adequate conclusion that I can derive from listening to this creature play drums.

A prime example is below.

Vinnie is heard here on the 1995 release of former Zappa band mate Warren Cuccurullo.

The record is named  http://www.cuccurullo.tv/contentframe/untilnow/disco/wc/thanks/thankslist.html#1]Thanks To Frank

The tune is Tardinha.

I know Mitch Mitchell was mentioned, but, I read a fairly recent interview (last year) that he was  apologetic for his "overplaying"...  and even embarrassed.  ??? on the first 3 Hendrix albums..
When I think of what a next step up it was to buy those albums when they were new, and hear that guy taking it beyond snare on 2 & 4...BD on 1 & 3..
How many people did he influence heavily in those years? The next logical step for me was listening to what had influenced him...jazz drummers....Morello, Elvin, Buddy,etc.
It's hard to think how different for me my musical tatse would be if he had  played the 2 &4, and the 1 & 3...
And he's sorry he played like that... :P

Vinnie Colaiuta very bad man. Make me wet pants.

Ahem.

Here's another couple of Colaiutastic performances, two clips both from the excellent John Patitucci CD Sketchbook from 1990, in each case the opening 45 sec.

i know he's not a drummer, but michael angelo batio belongs on any list dealing with musical excess... he was the guy  who played the 4 necked guitar back in the 80's...

but to tie in a more modern drummer, i think the guy from "from first to last" goes over the top in terms of the style sometimes...

my limited experinece with vinnie on DVD, i have never seen vinnie play on video without reading music :o
man is that some spacealien or what? :D
his drums (think there were Gretsch) on the Steve Gadd tribute DVD sounded like no drums i have ever heard, they were sooooo nice.
i have heard and do love several top level kits, but his was really something special.
anybody know that DVD and what he was playing?
2003 american drummers achievement awards Steve Gadd
and special honour to Armand Zildjian as he had just passed away. :'(
