Attention RUSH fans.

As with any instrument, the drumming (or percussion, depending) has to fit the context. There are various degrees of success. Coroner's album Mental Vortex is an example of tasty drumming - double kick when necessary, surrounded by lightly syncopated, and even simple, beats - that complement and complete the pieces. Master of Puppets is close in this regard - whereas Justice blew, drum-wise.

You mean brand names on the equipment or tunes/groups?

Tunes
Texasmame:
Pretty much anything. I usually only play tunes that are fun/challenging to play alone since I just play with myself. :laugh2:
Subdivisions, Limelight, Time Stand Still, Red Barchetta, and Time and Motion all by Rush get regular plays. I also like "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benetar and "Running in the Family" by Level 42. Whatever pops into my head, really.
Sometimes I'll just solo/jam/practice with the bass foot hitting the downstroke and the hi-hat foot hitting the upstroke and my hands just playing whatever feels good on top of that.
I can't, however, do "The Drum also Waltzes" part of Neil's solo, with the bass/hat/hat, bass/hat/hat thing going on. I can do it when it's just my feet, but when I throw hands into it, I'm screwed. :)

You have to develop your limbs, polyphonically. This actually starts in hearing polyphonically. And, no Pantera, etc?!
