As a drummer, I second especially Porcupine Tree's The Sound of Muzak (which is tons of fun to play as well), everything by Jon Theodore basically and Fugazi.
I would also mention these:
Drive Like Jehu - for showing complex, but fitting and most of all driving playing.
Shellac - Todd Trainer is just incredibly precise.
June of 44 - Doug Scharin is awesome, especially technically. He's a major influence of Jon Theodore, and you can tell.
Q And Not U - complex and groovy drums.
Slint - showing that you don't actually have to beat the living shit out of your kit 24/7.
But: If he's a beginner, apart from Drive Like Jehu, most of this stuff probably won't appeal to him as much (the bands I listed there, not the ones I seconded), as will stuff like Don Caballero or The Flying Luttenbachers. It's technically complex but you need a certain experience just to grasp what the fuck is going on there, at least that's the impression I had. I only learnt to appreciate certain drum parts when I actually understood what was played there.
At first, I would aim for good rock with more complex elements. Stuff that you can actually learn within a decent amount of time, everything else is just discouraging, if that's even a word. Math-rock wankery can wait.
Most people will kill me here, but a pretty damn good starting point would be stuff by the Foo Fighters. Led Zeppelin is also a must.
Also, Bernard Purdie is awesome and the videos are actually interesting for a drummer because: Stick control, technique and melody. You should get those down before you try to do other, more complex things.

Excellent riposte.
I'm serious though. He's probably the 2nd least dynamic member of the band after Aaron Turner's vocals. I like Isis, but the only time the drumming seems to pick up any interesting dynamics it ends up sounding like second-rate Jason Roeder.
Oh, I guess he recently started putting his snare accents in random places. I gues that makes it better...
Martin:
I disagree. I like his drumparts and they got me into trying alot of new things on my drumkit. His fills are cool, and although alot of his beats sounds similar, I think it has alot of pecularity to it.
