Inspriational Drumming
Thrillho:
--- Quote from: timehat ---Absolutely. Subtlety is highly overlooked. Why people froth over Portnoy I will never understand. Sure, bombast is great, but there's better bombast and there are other things besides it. Oh well...

Of course. It's much harder to be a good restrained drummer than a good 'hit everything' drummer. I've always appreciated the people who drum for Nick Cave, because they have to be able to do snare-clicking ballads with brushes and thundering tom-toms and all sorts of other styles, often within the space of one song.

I've always thought Dave Grohl's drumming on Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs For The Deaf" was fucking ace and a half. "Song For The Dead" is outrageous. Definitely give your brother at least that song, if not the whole album.
Also, Alfredo Hernandez's drumming is always spot-on ... check out Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age's self-titled debut, and Yawning Man.
And let me reiterate: Ginger Baker. His work with Masters of Reality is the stuff I'm most familiar with, and it's magnificent. Get "Sunrise on the Sufferbus," as I recommended before, and download "The Desert Song" from the album "Give Us Barabbas."
Kai:
Oh man, Ginger Baker is ace. His stuff with Cream and Blind Faith is wonderful.
Jono:
+1 on Deerhoof.
Also:
The Mint Chicks - either Post No Bills, or a Quick Show of Hands.
Any Jazz greats that you can get your hands on.
E. Spaceman:
The guy who plays the snare on the Berlin Orchestra in the performance of Ravel's Bolero. My favourite drummig ever.
