Signature Drum patterns

[Jaco]

Recent debate with drummer that there are less distinct 'signature' patterns / grooves by drummers now.

Got me thinking

E.g Bonham - When the Levee Breaks

Bruford- opening to Heart of the Sunrise, Beelzebub, Hells Bells, Larks Tongues pt2, In the Dead of Night

Palmer- Eruption, Tarkus, Tank

Hiseman - Major Keys , War Dance

Collins- Apocolypse 9/8, Wot Gorilla

Simon Phillips - Space Boogie (Cobham)

Alan White - Changes

Mike Portnoy 6:00

Peart - Tom Sawyer

Terry Bozzio - US Drag

MIke Giles, Schizoid Man opening

Just a few of the top of my head...

[Halmyre]

Cozy Powell's drum barrage at the start of Stargazer.

Ian Paice, Fireball.

The first 38 seconds of this contains something I came up with that I can't find elsewhere in my music collection.

That link doesn't work for me.

One of my favorite pieces of drumming is Andy Ward in A Chord Change especially the first minute or two. Very active yet, to my ears, innovative.

Christian Vander - Kohntarkohz, Theuz Haamtaak

[Rarebird]

The opening of Eloy Poseidon's creation.

[Zeuhlmate]

Daniel Denis - Dense
Chris Cutler - Ruins

[Sturgeon's Lawyer]

Keith Moon - the "d'd'DUM, d'd'DUM pom pom" used in "The Rock" on Quadrophenia

[Dave (in MA)]

Collins- Apocolypse 9/8, Wot Gorilla

I might have gone with Down and Out (if not the more obvious one from his first solo album).

[Buddhabreath]

I always thought "Los Endos" was a good example of Collin's signature. but he was such a great drummer everything sited is a good example!

[iguana]

why, of course …

[Scrotum Scissor]

Daniel Denis - Dense
Chris Cutler - Ruins

Nah, Portnoy would surely nail 'em in a sec'.

[Udi Koomran]

Steve Gadd 50 Ways to Leave your Lover

[mogrooves]

David Garibaldi (Tower of Power): "Soul Vaccination"
Bobby Caldwell: "Dancing Madly Backward"

MIke Giles

An orchestral conception and a penchant for the triplet (particularly quarter-note triplets), instead of the usual equal division of the beat; Andy McCulloch took the triplet thing and ran with it.

Mitch Mitchell: 'Little Wing'

"Spanish Castle Magic," wherein he plays on the "and" of beat four; everyone else would've played on 4.

[Dave (in MA)]

With this talk about Genesis signature drum patterns, we should't leave out Chester Thompson's one from "More Trouble Every Day" / "Afterglow".

[Supersonic Scientist]

...While certainly NOT PROG....

Ron Wilson (From the Surfaris) drumming on Wipeout was as signature a drum groove as it got back-in-the-day.

[arabicadabra]

Rod Morgenstein - Chips Ahoy, Divided We Stand, Take It Off The Top, Calcutta, Ice Cakes
Alan White - Side 2 of TopoGigio, where Jon Anderson sings "Relayer....."

[soundsweird]

I thought that the OP's reason for starting this thread was to discuss whether you still hear as much of a signature style in today's drummers compared to those of yesteryear. I'm gonna say no, you don't. As far as adding to the list, I can't believe no one's mentioned Ringo...
