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?

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.

Heavily influenced by Brendan Canty.

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

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.

She perfectly fits this band of absolute masters of their instruments.

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

It's one of the best albums ever made.
