Ten Great Drumming Tracks

I have been meaning to do this for a while now, and finally have managed to find the time to do it. Here are 10 tracks that all have made a substantial impact on my perception of what a drummer can to in a piece of music. If you are a drummer (or just love good drumming) and are in need of some inspiration, I highly recommend you go out and buy these tracks!

    Drummer: Danny Carey

    Drummer: Dennis Chambers

  3. "Part 2" - Three Quartets by Chick Corea
    Drummer: Steve Gadd

  4. "Five-Five-Five" - Shut Up 'N Play Your Guitar by Frank Zappa
    Drummer: Vinnie Colaiuta

  5. "Eternity's Breath Part 1" - Visions Of The Emerald Beyond by Mahavishnu Orchestra
    Drummer: Narada Michael Walden

  6. "Four" - Four & More by Miles Davis
    Drummer: Tony Williams

  7. "Eleven" - Sailing The Seas Of Cheese by Primus
