Several drummer friends and I were speaking the other day about some of our favorite drum recordings of all time. Here are a few albums that make me jump out of my chair every time they show up on my iPod shuffle.

(1) Miles Davis “Four and More” (w/ Tony Williams)
(2) Jimi Hendrix “Axis Bold as Love” (w/ Mitch Mitchell… mostly)
(3) Joshua Redman “Spirit of the Moment” (w/ Brian Blade)
(4) Al Jarreau “Breaking Away” (w/ Steve Gadd… & Jeff Porcaro on one track)
