Ok, here's one for ya.....Steve Goulding......yeah, ok, who is he? He's the guy who played drums on Elvis Costello's Watching the Detectives. Can't get any more distinctive a drum track sound that that.....only distorted drum sound that I can recall in recent times on record......
THAT is a great track. I lifted some fills from him that I still find myself using when I play some reggaeish stuff!

One of my favourites is Charlie Watts on "Start me up".
Love the off beat crash in the intro, and great fills throughout.
Charlie is a guru! Keep on Pl

> Charlie is a guru!
What Charlie teaches all drummers is; sometimes what you leave out is as important as what you throw in! Leaving out the last hit on the hi-hat when he plays straight-up 4/4 grooves is brilliant stuff. Puts some 'air' in the groove and lets it breath, not to mention making it swing real hard. Love Charlie. The man is a groove machine.

Oops, forgot all about Frank Beard's instantly recognizable, hoop tapping intro to "La Grange". What would that classic ZZ Top song have been without that intro?

Necropost warning!!!
Not so much iconic but definitely distinctive.
Jan Hammers drumming on "blue wind" by Jeff Beck is super interesting but the song would have benefitted by the drums being a little more forward in the mix.
"Chase" off the miami vice album is almost the opposite with the drums way forward in the mix and Jan programming pure insanity pretty much throughout the song with a very cool break in the middle.

I had to preface this with a reference to his playing a real drum kit on "blue wind" because many would dismiss "chase" as a non-drummer simply programming stuff.
Some might say the sound has some 80s cliche but it is very different "cliche" and not as common as the gated stuff most commonly heard when that reference is used.
"Chase" has a very cool snare sound and very musical "toms".....or whatever Jan has decided they are.
Computer speakers just don't do it justice as you can't hear the lower register of the toms.
Oh....and that hi-hat at the beginning immediately tells you where this song comes from.
