I may have a different definition of drum groove though.

 

Honey Drippers "Impeach The President"

Hundreds of other musicians agree!

 

I love Jim Gordon’s groove on My Maria by BW Stevenson.

 

so I see this topic and wham, instantly my brain says HAPPY JACK !!!!!!!!!!

 

Money - Pink Floyd
When the World Is Running Down - Police

 

Lovely little piece, this one...

 

Peter Gabriel- " A Different Drum" from The Passion.

 

Have you heard ‘I Had A Dream’ by Johnnie Taylor? Al Jackson, Jr. hits a flam on his mounted tom you could drive a truck through.

 

Yes.

Levon may be my favorite drummer of all time. Always a great, unique groove!

 

Zeppelin "Darlene" - the definition of "swing".

 

Hey Cisco (DEEP PURPLE on "Purpendicular", Ian Paice of course)
Babylon Sisters (STEELY DAN on "Gaucho", Bernard Purdie)
When the Levee Breaks (LED ZEPPELIN on "IV", John Bonham of course)
Party on Simon's Pants (STEVE LUKATHER on "Candyman", Simon Phillips)
99 (TOTO on "Hydra", Jeff Porcaro)

 

Doug Sahm Papa Ain’t Salty - with the great Grady Tate laying down a deep groove and showing everyone how it’s done.

 

Gene Krupa, on his own or with Benny Goodman. I've always loved this version.

 

Zebra - As I Said Before.

 

Thanks for choosing this one. That frees me up to pick some other great groove. I also love the Texas shuffle underneath Faded Love on this album.

 

Stewart Copeland played a few grooves that are favs of mine but his life performance on "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is excellent,

 

Bozzio is an icon. I'll pull a favorite of mine as, "Caesar's Palace Blues" by UK.

 

Sly & the Family Stone - In Time

Andy Newmark is the drummer.
