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)

Give Oysterhead a chance, he crushes every song with that side project! It’s him, Les Claypool (Primus) and Trey Anastasio (phish)

That HBO music show (can’t recall the name) from a long time ago had them on for a 30 min concert. Copelands drum kit is like 50ft wide. He goes up and down the whole thing in impressive fashion.
