That's an easy one for me to answer, the drumming on this is outstanding - just listen!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hlv8JqzHs0&feature=player_detailpage

F@@k me Steven, I know you are of the age where prog rock wasn't a dirty word but Genesis on a Soul Site. You should be hung, it's like the Pope having sex with a woman, sacrosanct! I hope there

Al Jackson Jr at Stax, one of the greatest.

 

IMHO one of the most brilliantly understated pieces of drumming.

 

But just perfect . . . . . . .

Buddy Rich by a mile!

 

But if you want to see a great drum duet, Phil Collins & Chester Thompson (Genesis Live in Rome 2007)

A free concert in front of half a million people.

Sandy Billups from Brass Construction had me queing to get him to sign my album after a performance at Blackpool Mecca, The drum break in T-Connections 'Do what you want to Do' gets my vote though. Starts at 1:54 on this clip and ends just after you die:

"Behind a painted Smile" has the best ending to a tune ever IMO.......... But the album track SOMEDAY by the Tempests just sends me  :yes: sorry don`t know how to upload tracks like you clever fookers !

Hey Jordi, I like the War track  :thumbsup:

I'm with you and Jordi on this one Val. Absolutely love the flute and piano work too!

Play it loads at home and played it out a few years back at Jackie Allsorts' Full, Fat & Funky all dayer. :thumbup:

IMHO one of the most brilliantly understated pieces of drumming.

 

But just perfect . . . . . . .

 

 

The finest ever use of sensitivity, tension, suspense, anticipation and intensity in music.

 

And a perfect education in the art of musical dynamics and human expression.

 

Truly special.

Amongst everything else that's going on, including one of the great intros of all time, I've always loved the manic drum work on the Montclairs - 'Hung up on your love'. Maybe not classic, but he doesn't half put a shift in.

Staying on topic, Roger Hawkins up there. And Howard Grimes overshadowed by Al Jackson but could definitely hold his own.

Do Bongos count, if so Curtis Mayfields player Eddie ?? could bang with the best!
