whoa not too much about Matt Cameron here - theres so many.

leading into the second verse in Searching w/ My Good Eye Closed comes to mind. huge.

Mac McNeilly is probably my favorite drummer as well. He does some head-spinning fills on LIAR. It's almost as if John Bonham were playing in Minor Threat.

I really love Brian Chippendale, too. "13 Monsters" is filled with tons of great fills. He just plays with so much power and frenetic abandon that it's always exciting to listen to those albums.

John Stanier from Helmet. There's usually a little bridge section or "breakdown" where John busts out these pummelling fills that just make you want to break things. Machine-gun staccato fills.

actually, that's "brain": brian mantia.
tim alexander wasn't in the band for that album and the one after that.

i really like the fill coming back from the bridge of "love is like oxygen" by sweet.

i've got one i doubt anyone has heard.

bob rising , playing in hardvark (champaign-urbana, c.1994). on the record memory barge, in the song man of science, there are three breaks near the end of the song, where each of the band memebrs does a little fill. the bass is boring, the guitar is just a tiny scratching of the strings, but bob plays this weird inside-out fill that flips the beat. it's not extrordinary playing, but the decision to play that particular combination is really weird and smart.





"monkey, monkey, rhesus monkey..."

That was a good drum break, from the Frogs track, "I Don't Care If You Disrespect Me (Just So You Love Me)."

Good Times, Bad Times - sickness throughout

I have no idea even where to begin.

You're asking Miles from 'Sideways' what his favorite tipple is. (and I can be just as much of an asshole about it...)

But definitely, Neil Peart is Merlot.

That insane Mat M. breakdown in "Puss," there's a symphony in there, and it's just kick/snare/crash.

I have those .mp3s of just Bonham soloed from "In Through the Out Door." "The Achilles Last Stand" fill is all over those outtakes, as well. It's just amazing with no other instruments around it.

There are some full-stop hits in "Custard Pie," just kick and choked crash. Fuck.

I could go on and on and on.

Last week I figured out how to play that fill from "No-One Knows" by QOTSA. I am having to restrain myself from putting it EVERY SONG now.

Chuck Biscuits does that great drum thingy on "Mother." Where is it? I can never remember, but you know it...right after the second chorus where it's just Chuck by himself and then Glenn and JChrist blast back in to "Muuuutha..."

Fantastic stuff.

That speedy tom thing on Scratch Acid's "Owner's Lament," and that flangey tom thing on the Dead Boys "Sonic Reducer."

Charlie Watts, "I Want To Be Loved"...actually, just Charlie Watts in general

Anything Keith Moon does on Live at Leeds

There's more to come, but I need to think
