Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring is actually a ballet, something we often forget.
But it is from 1913, the Ford Model T was the Tesla of the time.
How do you rehearse a ballet? Can’t afford to bring in the orchestra, and no CD players.
Stravinsky wrote a version for two pianos.
The Rite of Spring is a forceful, percussive work.
In this version it acts as a reminder that the piano is a percussion instrument.

Must be John Bonham with Keith Moon a close second
Bonzo … any track, Moony … especially Tommy

Not one of the usual suspects, Greg Saunier of Deerhoof is so damn compelling to me.
A most worthy listen is their album Reveille.
My opinion, of course.
Der.
Just listening to this album. 
JOE MORELLO was a brilliant drummer and a great musical innovator. Without him Dave Brubeck’s exploration of unusual time signatures (back in the 1950s and 1960s) wouldn’t have been the same.
Check out this solo (from 1964)…

+1 for Jack Dejohnette. Listen to Autumn Leaves on Keith Jarrett Live and the Blue Note. Between Keith left hand, Gary Peacock on bass, and DeJohnette, you have one of the tightest rhythm sections ever.
Highly recommend anyone visiting my home town of Chicago spend a Monday night at the Green Mill to see Patricia Barber. Her drummer John Dietemeyer is masterful. Probably comes as a surprise to those who haven’t seen her play live.
Never been a fan of Ringo. When John Lennon was asked about Ringo being named “best drummer in the world”, he replied “best drummer in the world? He’s not even the best drummer in The Beatles”

@dabassgoesboomboom posted this link in the “Now playing some sweet Soul, R&B and Funk” thread.
He also recommended the album “Spread Her Wings”, which shows Dave’s incredible originality and sophistication. Thanks a lot, Sean!

I was looking for Questlove solo to share and bumped into this. Now I had to think twice, even thrice before sharing this particular video 
but Bieber (forgetting his antics for a small moment) is a decent drummer!
But back to an outstanding drummer, Questlove… how about two great dummers goin at it 
And one more of Questlove:
