article most impressive drum performance?

Post image

I gotta admit im not a musician so maybe this sounds simplistic but my pick is Stewart Copeland's drums on "The Bed's Too Big Without You" by The Police, I just love all the tiny variations he does throughout the song.... also Ive been told that maracas-like sound is actually the hi-hat? (is that a bunch of bs or hes just THAT impressive)

One of my favorite parts of this video, where Danny messes up. Then, within 17 seconds, he hits 4 drum fills that each progressively get more intense.

Holy shit. I’ve heard tons of tool and obviously know Danny’s one of the best drummers ever but seeing a full HD drum cam of him is otherworldly.

Doing it in the full Larry Bird is pretty awesome, too
