Similar to the "share a tasty guitar solo" thread, only for drums. Could be whole songs, or just that one really awesome fill that gets you every time, or maybe just a great snare tone that really grabs you or whatever
To start, here's Nick D'Virgilo getting a massive sound out of his drums. Particularly the first minute, but the groove on the second verse is also very cool (and a totally different feel).

And a clip of Nick doing the first part live (while singing!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUgUU9rM8oc

I’ve always loved the drums on Big Country’s “Wonderland”. Don’t be fooled by how it starts, it’s the chorus where Mark Brzezicki really shines.

Everything about this. The tone, the groove, how she keeps changing the meter and feel while retaining the same pulse, the fills. It's even a good, catchy song despite being drum-centric and fairly technical.

Wow! Amazing stuff. I love that little crossover fill around 1:23 (as well as everything else).

I really need to check out more stuff from Big Country. I only know the one big hit, but I like their sound and it feels like it should be up my alley.

Leprous hasn't really connected with me yet, but Baard is a monster. I've always loved this street drumming clip of him when he was still a teenager.

Pretty much anything Senri Kawaguchi does qualifies for this thread, but her going off after 4:05 on this one is some seriously God tier stuff...

LOVE Vinnie Colaiuta's drumming on this Satriani track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM8LmzKca3k
The hi-hat work and the subtle bass drum patterns at the beginning are so tasty...and the ending too, with the ride and the toms...so good.

anything Vinnie plays on is great IMHO (he is one of my heroes). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xljXIgE3wA here is one by my greatest inspiration, Jeff Porcaro.

I'll chuck this out there as well, as Josh absolutely kills it on the new Coheed album...

Speaking of Vinne, here's my favourite video of Vinnie in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HyUfPWwlg4&ab_channel=TheFusionJunkie
I just love how he enters the stage in sweatpants and a grocery bag probably out havin a smoke. The music starts in a odd meter and he just sits down wipes his glasses and joins in and were off for a display of full control on everything drumming. It's a masterclass in groove, time, spontaneity, creativity, presence and so much more.
So many videos I could post in here but a fun one I always go back to is Dave DiCenso shredding back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aHWSF45SoM&ab_channel=DRUMMERWORLDbyBernhardCastiglioni

Vinnie with Sting on 7 Days is mesmerizing.

Yea he makes that groove sound so simple but it really isn't. Especially if you're gonna play all the accents and embellishments he does.
-
Each time he adds to it as well. I saw that tour. Top 10 show ever.

Baard was the first drummer I thought of too when I saw this thread title. Amazing stuff.

Eloy Casagrande from Sepultura. Here's a drum-cam performance of Desperate Cry in which he goes absolutely apeshit. I tried to single out a fill but just couldn't pick one

100% agree. Another play through from Vaxis II:

Such a catchy song...the drums on this caught my ear right away, and I was super happy to see there was a video. He has such a unique style!

Yeah man. Looks like his snare/stand want to give out at any moment.

Same here. 2nd row at Red Rocks. Top 5 show for me.

Here's another good one from Senri, this is from when she was drumming for Guthrie Govan on his Japan tour...

Here's a real deep find of Genesis rehearsing Living Forever for their "The Way We Walk" tour in Houston, 1992. Phil's playing and programming is so tasty:

I've always loved Jimmy Chamberlin's drumming on the Smashing Pumpkins cover of Never Let Me Down Again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW4eTZwH5Nk
-
Every (drum) note of "Fool In The Rain" by Led Zeppelin.
-
Geek USA - Smashing Pumpkins, some of Jimmy's best.
Behind the Lines - Genesis, the opening section is just so good, and the drum sound is so lively.
Deliverance - Opeth, love the outro section.
Praise the Lord (Opium of the Masses) - Dying Fetus, the intro groove is so tasty.
So many, but these immediately came to mind.

I agree. I have always loved this song. Great, simple main riff that crushes!
-
The fills in Blackened and Frayed Ends of Sanity are my favorite drum fills.

I love Gregg, he's always so joyful in whatever he talks about. Big inspiration!
I love Vinnie's laidback groove on Oz Noy's Chocolate Souffle, that riff in the verse just destroys my brain but Vinnie just keeps everyone grounded.

Not many players have the feel that Ivar de Graaf does. And what a snare sound.

I don’t know what exactly Vinnie Colaiuta is doing here that sounds so cool, but I love how the groove pushes and pulls throughout the track. I assume the time signature is shifting, but maybe somebody with more musical expertise can comment.

Sting - Love Is Stronger Than Justice
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=67CNsnCbbxM
The piece is comprised of two sections (basically): The verses (which are the same as the intro and outro) are in 7/8 and the choruses are in 4/4, no pushing or pulling here, since clicks were used. Brilliant piece though (and a brilliant album, one of my very favourites by Sting, thanks in no small part to Vinnie. One of my heroes.) He does an override pattern here (meaning, he takes a pattern, the ride cymbal pattern in this case, and he smoothes out the time as it were, so it's palatable for everyone.

It’s probably just that 7/8 with the override that’s making it sound irregular to me. The drumming really makes the song.
-
The override is supposed to make the odd time signature easier to digest for the average listener. 7/8 is irregular by nature, but Vinnie makes it palatable for everyone. (danceable even)
