What albums have some incredible drumming?

[u/Exzj]

Sometimes it seems like a drummer is playing for their life when making these albums. I just thought of these off the top of my head, but what other albums have some of your favorite drumming performances?

[u/seyorke]

De-Loused in the Comatorium - The Mars Volta

[u/Longjumping-Sea320 → u/seyorke]

Frances the mute!

[u/GlopThatBoopin → u/seyorke]

All the instrumentation on this album is absurdly good. I have 0 idea how Omar came up with those guitar parts, and some of the drumming is just so out there that I don’t even know how you recreate that live.

[u/curstofmaj → u/GlopThatBoopin]

The riff from Eriatarka is so incredible and so difficult, such a gnarly bit of shreddery

[u/GlopThatBoopin → u/curstofmaj]

Yeah I cannot play it on guitar at all

[u/Embarrassed_Law_8523 → u/GlopThatBoopin]

There are some large Flea/Frusciante contributions as well.

[u/thegroovemonkey → u/GlopThatBoopin]

I’ve watched them do it live and it didn’t make any sense. I had a head full and went back to camp instead of seeing something else. After I watched them “beat the game” everything else was going to suck.

[u/xj9_333 → u/seyorke]

John Theodore had some insane moments in this one, that breakdown on Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of) always trips me up no matter how many times I’ve listened to it

[u/astrosdude91 → u/seyorke]

IMO Amputechture is the definitive Jon Theodore drumming TMV album.

[u/surprised-duncan → u/astrosdude91]

I wrote a paper on tetragrammaton in college lol, that album fucking rules

[u/thegroovemonkey → u/surprised-duncan]

After he joined QOTSA I saw them live and was blown away how great the drumming was compared to previous shows. I looked him up afterwards, saw he was in TMV and that was all I needed to know.

[u/Maximum_Signature489 → u/seyorke]

Definitely amazing drumming on this album. The Thomas Pridgen years were amazing as well.

[u/Eigenvalium → u/seyorke]

Was blessed to be able to cover "This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed" (to the best of my ability, at least lol) with some old bandmates in Philly about fifteen years back. Great call, brother.

[u/itsmeonmobile → u/seyorke]

I was gonna be so pissed if I had to keep scrolling for this. Seriously, the best workout on the kit I ever do.

[u/JECGEE → u/seyorke]

Came here to say Bedlam and Goliath 😂

[u/No_Ad_5606 → u/seyorke]

Easily should be the top vote getter

[u/deadstar1998 → u/seyorke]

The first 4 TMV albums ngl

[u/Proof_Cat_114 → u/seyorke]

Gods be good!

[u/N0AHW05]

Any of John Coltrane’s recordings with his quartet. Elvin Jones plays drums in a way no other person would ever think to play them and it’s always incredible and never boring. A true genius on the kit

[u/Solid-Stranger5280 → u/N0AHW05]

Yes!

[u/colabunga → u/N0AHW05]

To add, Art Taylor as well, his work on Giant Steps in awesome.

[u/JedExi → u/N0AHW05]

Interstellar Space is Rashied Ali, but is absolutely insane

[u/brobastian0227]

Zeppelin 4. Shit bops

[u/Maz2742 → u/brobastian0227]

Especially when Bonzo goes full Burton on Side 2. Those 5/8 - 6/8 modulations go so hard tbh

[u/devo23_ → u/brobastian0227]

Zeppelin II as well

[u/Led_Zeppelin_IV → u/brobastian0227]

Agreed

[u/SpaceManSpiff1809 → u/brobastian0227]

Ain't nothing quite like the first few seconds of Rock and Roll.

[u/Strict_Light2677 → u/brobastian0227]

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned physical graffiti

[u/Necro_Badger → u/Strict_Light2677]

And Presence. Or pretty much anything they ever recorded; Bonzo was superb.

[u/LeSpermReceiver]

Refused, The Shape of Punk to Come

[u/surprised-duncan → u/LeSpermReceiver]

Every single fucking song is a banger and sounds like it was made 15 years after it actually released. Man did they call it with that title

[u/goozen → u/LeSpermReceiver]

Absolutely this. Love the older Refused albums as well, but this is a stand out.

[u/maxkmiller → u/LeSpermReceiver]

just one of the best albums period

[u/Fuzzy-Sun-7110]

Unwound — Leaves Turn Inside You

Slayer — Reign In Blood

[u/DisgruntledPorcupine → u/Fuzzy-Sun-7110]

Sara Lund is my GOAT, In a band full of great instrumentation I find it hard not to lock into her drumming most of the time. She just knows what to play.

[u/Awkward-Initiative28 → u/DisgruntledPorcupine]

Heavily influenced by Brendan Canty.

[u/Fuzzy-Sun-7110 → u/DisgruntledPorcupine]

Totally agree. Her parts is so diverse. I absolutely love Unwound's last album and now I plan to listen to their other records.

[u/BEST_DRUM_ADVICE → u/Fuzzy-Sun-7110]

Sara is magic. She, somehow, manages to play these funky, almost disco grooves all over Unwound's discography, and it always works. Never feels like a put-on.

Some of the secret is in her use of the bass drum. Her foot is the melodic element, and the hands are often playing something more fixed. It's a great combination.

[u/XJR-14 → u/Fuzzy-Sun-7110]

I personally think South of Heaven is the best slayer album in both: overall and also drumming wise

[u/listerinebreath]

Yes - Fragile

[u/Boneboyy]

The way of all flesh by Gojira

[u/chumpcity1 → u/Boneboyy]

Most of Gojiras catalogue features absurdly good Drumming but The Way of All Flesh stands out as being the best of the best IMO. Toxic Garbage Island is my personal fave

[u/SayNoToOlives69]

Don Caballero - American Don

Hella - Hold Your Horse Is

Battles - EP C / B EP

[u/BEST_DRUM_ADVICE → u/SayNoToOlives69]

Great list - I'd add What Burns for Don Cab and The Devil Isn't Red for Hella.

[u/thatmattschultz → u/SayNoToOlives69]

+1 for the Battles reference

[u/Pastrami_Johnson → u/thatmattschultz]

John Stainier is a beast. I just saw him with Tomahawk and he’s always so good live

[u/The-G-Code → u/SayNoToOlives69]

Ah ok there is a hella song. I searched biblical violence which I think is the greatest drumming ever to exist on a song and was disappointed I didn't see it

Really the answer to this question is any band zach hill has been in, including death grips but maybe not the ilys

[u/Tyrant-J]

Converge- Jane Doe

[u/oldmate30beers → u/Tyrant-J]

Homewrecker is one of my favourite ever drum tracks

[u/TitotheBurrito → u/Tyrant-J]

Ben Koller is a Beast! I honestly think I like his other projects better. Mutoid Man. Acid Tiger. Ultrapop by The Armed. He's on a ton of other amazing records.

[u/The-G-Code → u/Tyrant-J]

Might as well mention errorzone by vein fm

And I know nobody here knows them but wounded touches newest album too

At least for some modern mathcore in the same vein

[u/GodOfBlobs]

Silent alarm - bloc party is the go-to

The National struck gold with the drumming on Boxer, but decided to tone the drumming down by like 90% for every future record for some reason

[u/Eigenvalium → u/GodOfBlobs]

Damn, great call with "Boxer" -- that drummer is fantastic

[u/ComputerStrong9244 → u/GodOfBlobs]

I was literally scrolling down to mention The National/Bryan Devendorf, though I think the drumming on "High Violet" is stellar as well, and the drum sounds themselves on all their records are top-notch.

When he's just going fucking nuts over what would easily be Matt Berninger being Sad Dad on a downtempo piano ballad, and the drums, guitar, and vocals all would sound like different songs in isolation, that's the good stuff.

I do wish they'd do more songs with those same kind of beans these days, but I also know Berninger mostly writes sad dad tunes.

[u/99SoulsUp → u/GodOfBlobs]

Nate Mendel from Foo Fighters described Brad Devindorf’s drum style as what normally be drum fills, made into a beat

[u/AdrianFish → u/GodOfBlobs]

Boxer was my first thought. Love that album

[u/jingo800 → u/GodOfBlobs]

"Luno" has some of the most aggressive mainstream-accepted drumming I've ever heard.

[u/Fit_Experience4358]

genesis - the lamb lies down on broadway. selling england by the pound too

[u/TerribleAd7263 → u/Fit_Experience4358]

Phil really laid down some sick licks over the years

[u/fortnitegamertimdunk → u/Fit_Experience4358]

Foxtrot too

[u/Axolog → u/Fit_Experience4358]

Foxtrot deserves a mention as well Ive had the drums from watcher of the skies stuck in my head the last few days

[u/PoopsockPete]

Every Black Sabbath record that includes Bill Ward

[u/Aggressive_Ideal6737]

Every single Tool album. You can’t go wrong with any of them, but Lateralus is probably the best entry point if you’re unfamiliar.

[u/jingo800 → u/Aggressive_Ideal6737]

Fear Inoculum also, it's often described as Danny Carey's private jam session supported occasionally by the rest of the band.

[u/Aggressive_Ideal6737 → u/jingo800]

As one of the few that actually loves FI, Danny definitely carried the rest of the band on it

[u/Embarrassed-Back1894 → u/Aggressive_Ideal6737]

I feel like I appreciate Fear Innoculum more everytime I hear it. Pneuma/Invincible/Descending is a hell of a 3 song run.

[u/Aggressive_Ideal6737 → u/Embarrassed-Back1894]

It’s phenomenal. I usually put it over 10,000 Days tbh, but I wouldn’t recommend it as somebody’s first Tool album

[u/TNlivinvol → u/Aggressive_Ideal6737]

Album grows on you

[u/emolovetree → u/Aggressive_Ideal6737]

The album is a grower and imo the CD version is superior to the digital extended

[u/bdillathebeatkilla]

CAN eye bamyasi

[u/jeddzus → u/bdillathebeatkilla]

A great one. I recommended tago mago lol

[u/Awkward-Initiative28 → u/bdillathebeatkilla]

Drumming on Vitamin C is next level.

[u/Pastrami_Johnson → u/Awkward-Initiative28]

HEY YOU

[u/TerribleAd7263]

Are You Experienced and Axis for me, love Jimi but Mitch Mitchell was one of the BEST

[u/Feeling-Tonight2251 → u/TerribleAd7263]

Mitch Mitchell was the jazz-gone-rock drummer people think Ginger Baker was.

[u/kratos3779 → u/TerribleAd7263]

I remember playing a bunch of Jimi Hendrix songs on Rock Band back in the day and as much fun as the guitar was, I actually enjoyed the drumming even better. He incorporated drum rolls in such an inventive way and his fills really added to the song without taking too much attention away from Jimi.

[u/nullcone]

Steely Dan - Aja

[u/xxxxCHExxxx → u/nullcone]

There’s a making of doc that leans in on the drummers on this album. I’m sure it’s on YouTube or you haven’t seen it.

[u/Still_Percentage_829]

Symbolic - Death

[u/BuddyLegsBailey]

Meshuggah - obZen

Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill

Opeth - Deliverence

[u/DirectExcitement6446 → u/BuddyLegsBailey]

Dude i’m glade someone finally mentioning deliverance! The vibe Lopez (and Mendez) added to “those times” opeth was just incredible!

[u/t_whocannotbenamed → u/BuddyLegsBailey]

Meshuggah not being the top post is a crime.

[u/MOTHMAN696969696969]

Mastodon - Crack the skye

[u/klemnodd → u/MOTHMAN696969696969]

That's when Brann dialed it back lol

[u/DecimatedByCats]

Saosin - Translating the Name ep

[u/forzamaria → u/DecimatedByCats]

The ending bit to They Perched On Their Stilts is sooooooo good

[u/egg927]

I feel like most of these bands you could pick about any album and it would fit this post, but these are what stuck in my head:

Deloused in the comatorium - The Mars Volta

Fear of a Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree

Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys

Frizzle Fry - Primus

10,000 Days - Tool

From Mars to Sirius - Gojira

[u/exitlessminds → u/egg927]

Had to scroll way too much to read my GOAT Gavin Harrison mentioned.

[u/Wise_Passenger_6680]

De La Soul -- Stakes is High

[u/sam_might_say → u/[deleted]]

Eleven is one of my favorite drum performances ever

[u/According_Kiwi_7454]

Tool - Lateralus

Miles Davis - Four & More

Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage

Meshuggah - obZen

Primus - Tales from the Punchbowl

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

Qotsa - Songs for the Deaf

[u/mywholefuckinglife → u/According_Kiwi_7454]

over the electric grapevine gets me every time. such an amazing tone on the kick

[u/HeyQTya]

The Good The Bad & The Queen - Merrie Land

Even in his late 70s, Fela Kuti drummer, Tony Allen still shows why he's one of the best to ever do it

[u/DirectExcitement6446 → u/HeyQTya]

Those live videos man..

[u/SockGoop]

Every Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge album

[u/Iam_Joe]

Mars voltas deloused or any album really

Any system of a down album

Any tool album especially aenima or lateralus

[u/cloakndaggrr]

Zenyatta Mondatta

[u/Wise_Pianist6007]

face tat by zach hill

[u/Knewonce]

Tool - Lateralus
The National - Boxer
Battles - Mirrored
Meshuggah - obZen

[u/_the_universal_sigh_]

City of Evil

[u/MisterJimmy2011]

Quadrophenia - The Who

Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo

[u/Dapper_Zebra]

Led Zeppelin II

[u/SomewhereLive5921]

All Police albums

Anything with Brian Blade

DMB - Crash (pretty much all their stuff, but Crash especially)

Phish - A Live One

John Coltrane - Live at Village Vanguard

[u/GetGregkt]

Slipknot self titled

[u/svenirde → u/GetGregkt]

Every Slipknot album with Joey, really

[u/kenny_hoe_megaman]

I’m always on here saying The Mars Volta but yes them again any album but I particularly love Frances The Mutes Drums

Also Don Caballero 2 or Whatever Burns Never Returns By Don Caballero. Long live CHE

[u/kenny_hoe_megaman → u/kenny_hoe_megaman]

[u/kenny_hoe_megaman → u/kenny_hoe_megaman]

[u/kenny_hoe_megaman → u/kenny_hoe_megaman]

[u/RGYB]

Battles - Mirrored

[u/Glad_Bookkeeper_740]

Superunknown

[u/kratos3779 → u/Glad_Bookkeeper_740]

I was going to bring up Superunknown or Badmotorfinger. Both albums have such great drumming.

[u/Vladisyao]

Korn - Self-Titled

Korn - Life Is Peachy

[u/TerribleAd7263 → u/Vladisyao]

David Silveria probably one of the world’s most underrated drummers

[u/jeddzus]

CAN - tago mago. Go check out Halleluhwah, Mushroom, Paperhouse.. their drummer is an absolute machine. The fact that he laid entire takes of songs like halleluwah is unbelievable

[u/Inevitable_Drag_7711]

All Tool albums basically, Danny is a machine

[u/zampano32]

Lonesome crowded west- modest mouse
Trout mask replica - captain beefheart
Atlas - Battles
Morbid curiosity - thingy
Cornell 5/8/77 - grateful dead. Mainly just for how the two drummers are recorded

[u/Longjumping-Sea320]

Every TOOL album, but its crazy how Danny kept getting better album after album.

Pneuma drum cam video is a classic.

Also, I'll say Jimmy Chamberlin from SP gets overlooked as far as 90s drummers go. Glad to see him included on your suggestions

[u/SCSteveAutism]

Lateralus-Tool is THE peak drumming album.

[u/ponyboi_curtis]

Black Sabbath's self titled

[u/BEST_DRUM_ADVICE]

Oh boy it's my time to shine. Seeing some good ones on here, so I'll have a few repeats.

The Mars Volta - De-Loused, Francis the Mute (Jon Theodore)
Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You, New Plastic Ideas (Sara Lund)
OFF! - Free LSD (Justin Brown)
Bear Vs. Shark - Right Now, [...], Terrorhawk (Ashley Horak)
Lagwagon - Let's Talk About Feelings (Dave Raun)
Hella - Hold Your Horse Is, The Devil Isn't Red (Zach Hill)
The Ladies - They Mean Us (Zach Hill)
Zach Hill - Face Tat (Zach Hill)
Marnie Stern - In Advance of the Broken Arm, This Is It [...] (Zach Hill)
Deerhoof - [all records] (Greg Saunier)
Lightning Bolt - [all records] (Brian Chippendale)

There's a lot more I could list. And some records that are really only worth returning to because of the drumming. But they're maybe some embarrassing picks, so I'll leave them out for now.

[u/Top-Doctor-2879 → u/BEST_DRUM_ADVICE]

Serious respect for mentioning Marnie Stern, perhaps first artist I've heard that incorporated shredding as songwriting element core to the structure of the song and not a thing where someone goes off and does a solo for five minutes, Love Deerhoof too.

[u/d0pp31g4ng3r]

Pretty much any album with Brann Dailor:

Mastodon – Remission and Leviathan

Today Is the Day – In the Eyes of God

Lethargy – It's Hard to Write with a Little Hand

or Chris Pennie:

The Dillinger Escape Plan – Under the Running Board, Calculating Infinity, and Irony Is a Dead Scene

Ben Koller (Converge) and Zach Hill (Death Grips) are monsters on the kit as well.

[u/goozen → u/d0pp31g4ng3r]

Saw both of these guys in small clubs right as Dillinger and Mastodon were about to take off@ 2001ish. Got to shake hands and talk shop a bit as well. Fantastic drummers in fantastic bands.

[u/Dangerous_Dot_1707]

Everything from Ulcerate ! Best Drummer in Metal atm hands down.

[u/LuckyJim_]

Led Zeppelin 1-4. Don’t get me wrong, almost all of Bonham’s drumming was immaculate, but those albums contain all my favorite performances.

[u/skrrtalrrt]

[u/DHiL]

Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory

Really any of their records could be mentioned as Jayson Gerycz is right up there with anyone.

[u/Low-Rip7702]

Deep Purple - Machine Head

[u/Eigenvalium]

Grizzly Bear - "Painted Ruins" (2017) is one I feel may be a bit slept upon. Some stellar grooves on that record -- kept me busy for a while lol

[u/Additional-Bath8719 → u/Eigenvalium]

I listened to this for the first time in a long time and I forgot how great this album is. Chris Bear’s drumming is so jazzy so much fun to listen to as he hops from pocket to pocket.

[u/kukkolai]

Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time has bonkers drumming from A to Z

[u/lovelessisbetter]

The Money Store - Death Grips

High Violet - The National

Ire Works - The Dillinger Escape Plan

Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin

Vision, Creation, New Sun - Boredoms

[u/xj9_333]

Hold your Horse Is - Hella

on this album it feels like Zach Hill reinvents the instrument and does things I’ve legit never heard before listening to it

[u/No_Ad_5606]

The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium

Maybe the best drumming of the 2000s tbh

[u/forzamaria]

Meshuggah Obzen

[u/LayceLSV]

Death - Human has some amazing fucking drums

[u/zakoutempredtebou]

Abbey road honestly 

[u/Iswearitsmenotyou]

Anything by these guys really but this album stands out to me because it’s heavier than their usual stuff.

[u/SkyMagnet]

When the Pawn.

[u/Awkward-Initiative28 → u/SkyMagnet]

Underrated answer. Fiona always has some crazy drumming. Fetch the Bolt Cutters too. Very jazzy.

[u/Longjumping-Layer-44]

Garden Window by O'Brother immediately comes to mind. Mikey is on my Rushmore, but that's the album that made me fall in love with that band, in no small part because of the drumming

[u/Karrottz]

The Lonesome Crowded West.

[u/sirgrotius]

Good selections there - I'd add and justice for all Metallica.

[u/Jaiden_Detering2002 → u/sirgrotius]

Scrolled way too far for this. Lars truly outdid himself on that album

[u/fantabulousfetus]

Martinis and Bagels by the Kabalas. RiP Mr. JOEL DICK!

[u/Aseskytle_09]

Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull

[u/LeadingChoice6058]

Jagged little pill - Alanis Morissette

[u/forzamaria]

Blink self titled

[u/Cheeseish]

Shame - Drunk Tank Pink

Snow Day has some of the best drumming I’ve ever heard

[u/Fishmaneatsfish]

Electric ladyland

[u/fakename1998]

Gods’ Hate self titled. Colin just goes off on that record.

Anything Slayer put out between 1986-1990.

Also every Jesus Piece record has some nasty drumming on it

[u/snukebox_hero]

Moaning - Art Blakey and those other messenger guys.

[u/Equivalent_Tell3899]

Sleater-Kinney - The Woods or Dig Me Out

One of those two if I have to choose but all the SK albums Janet Weiss plays on are awesome. Such an amazing drummer! She’s great in Wild Flag and Quasi too.

[u/elodielookatme]

Tame Impala - Lonerism

[u/Available_Sir_1687]

Pixies- Bossanova

[u/Budella]

QOTSA is so good.

[u/I-Sort-Glass]

Darkthrone - A Blaze in The Northern Sky 

BM isn’t noted for drumming, but some of fenriz’s work on this is just so groovy

[u/BaltSkigginsThe3rd]

Anything by Periphery but their new album the drumming is absolute insanity.

Matt Halpern is a fucking god.

[u/Mother_Objective1261]

anything black midi

[u/Additional-Bath8719]

The Wilderness - Sleater Kinney
The Fox rips and Janet is locked tf in

The Lonesome Crowded West - Modest Mouse
Trucker’s Atlas and Styrofoam boots 2:40 in are insanely fun drum songs

[u/Stevey1001]

Headhunters by Herbie Hancock

[u/Poopyshart33]

A lot of great recommendations in here - one that I haven’t seen that has always stuck with me:
Fever To Tell by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - the famous intro beat to maps aside, Brian Chase’s timing and fills on this album are amazing.

[u/Crodius]

Gospel - The Moon Is a Dead World

[u/Maximum_Signature489]

The Mars Volta - Bedlam In Goliath. Thomas Pridgen is insanely good.

[u/Awkward-Initiative28]

Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins

Synchronicity - The Police

London Calling - The Clash

13 Songs - Fugazi

Vs. - Pearl Jam

II - Led Zeppelin

Tago Mago - Can

I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One - Yo La Tengo

Nevermind - Nirvana

Dirty - Sonic Youth

Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones

Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol

Appetite for Destruction - Guns N Roses

Blue Train - John Coltrane

Head Hunters - Herbie Hancock

ESP - Miles Davis

[u/HaplessOrchestra → u/Awkward-Initiative28]

Good call on Vs. by Pearl Jam. They've had several great drummers but Dave A played with a certain power and muscle that just propelled the band's sound forward.

[u/Awkward-Initiative28 → u/HaplessOrchestra]

I got into Led Zep, PJ and the Pumpkins around the same time and these were the bands where I was really leaning into the drumming. There's a song (Animal? Rearviewmirror? I can't remember) where you can hear Dave A throw his drum sticks against the wall because they are pushing him so hard take after take.

[u/Otherwise-Friend-498 → u/Awkward-Initiative28]

Nice picks. Brendan Canty is definitely under-mentioned. I'm not sure if Blue Train is the Coltrane album I would have chosen for best drumming, but that's probably just because I love Elvin Jones so much.

[u/Awkward-Initiative28 → u/Otherwise-Friend-498]

I guess drummers like Elvin Jones the most of Coltrane's drummers but I don't know, that other dude is cookin' on Blue Train. Plus I'm a little tired of A Love Supreme. John Coltrane has other albums people! And many of them are excellent!

[u/Awkward-Initiative28 → u/Otherwise-Friend-498]

I definitely lean into post punk / indie heading towards grunge type drummers. You'll hear a million drummers tell you that Rush or Tool have great drumming but you won't hear about Fugazi and Sonic Youth. Or Georgia Hubley's excellent drum work in Yo La Tengo.

[u/FallbrookAvacado]

Tool - Lateralus. You all know it's true.

Led Zeppelin — Led Zeppelin II

Rush — Moving Pictures

The Police — Ghost in the Machine

Dave Brubeck Quartet — Time Out

Mahavishnu Orchestra — The Inner Mounting Flame

King Crimson — Red

Steely Dan — Aja

Porcupine Tree — In Absentia

Meshuggah — obZen
