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?!
