In the garden of Eve...

In other words... In-a-gadda-da-vida... "Iron Butterfly"

In all my stuff going on, we bought the teenager a garage sale drum set. Now I'm trying to show him the great drummers of our time to give him incentive. I let him beat on the set all he wants. Tonight I showed him a band he's never heard of... Iron Butterfly with one of the best drum solos in history. He's loving it. Here's a sample:

YouTube - Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda Da Vida 1999 live

YouTube - Iron Butterfly : In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida : Part 1

YouTube - Iron Butterfly : In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida : Part 2

I just want him to see the greats and let him know that he too can be this great.

Anyone else you can recommend for great drummers???

I know Phil Collins is pretty good to. Post links if you have them.

Thanks!

Into the Fire by Harry Nillson is basically a set of solos (dual lead, bass and drums) connected together by his vocals. It might surprise you who his studio musicians and other vocalists were on his albums.

Nobody but nobody beats Neil Peart.His co-ordination and speed, ability to to stay fluid with what his other limbs are doing, is magificent.I've played drums, been a percussionist for many years, as well as piano,and Peart is simply unbelievable.

John Bonham From Led Zepplin before he died was one of the super drummers. I saw him in concert and he was fantastic.
