Anything with Joey Baron, of course. I think John McEntire's drumming on Tortoise records is hot stuff, too. And of course this isn't within the last five years, but my top "a boy and his drum set" record of all time is the Minutemen's "Double Nickles on the Dime." Holy shit, it's almost 20 years ago now. I still miss D. Boon. William Crump ---------- From: SonataPathetique@aol.com I was just wondering if anyone can recommend some cd's with great drum (set not percussion) playing that has come out in the past 5 years.
Damon Che, the backbone of instrumental post-rockers Don Caballero is probably the most impressive drummer I've heard, period. Other drummers I love: John McEntire. He backs the sea and cake like he's backing a hardcore band, not a schmaltzy lite-lounge-pop combo. And in Tortoise, he's not afraid to dice up, re-program, squash, filter, crunch, and generally fuck up his drum sounds. I love it. Susie Ibarra- she can do the McNasty on the standard kit, but when she brings in the Kulingtang, everything gets gorgeous. andrew
