zach hill is nuts. even if you dont like hella its fun to listen to him drum.

The Architect by Elevate.

I'd stick that in my 'excellent riff feast' albums too. There are little riffs tucked away in that record that would feed and sustain lesser bands for 5 albums.

Really?

I can't even hear the drums on this record most of the time.

I love the drums on that record.

(the) Melvins - A Senile Animal - two drummers!

And yet that album easily has the weakest, most washed out drum sound of any Melvins record I've ever heard. Sounds like it was tracked straight to mp3.

I'll second Bastro and most anything with Joey Baron, and suggest all Bitch Magnet records.

Yes, really. I think her playing on that record shows some nice restraint - while still thoroughly playing incredible rhythms. It's the fact that it's not up front and in your face that i like - but back there, way in the back, where the drums are - they are perfect.

Ginger Baker was without peer, and he dominates this record more than any other.

Toad, motherfuckers!
