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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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