Seriously his polyrhythms on the kick broke my brain. Totally awesome.

Aric Improta plays a 30-minute drum solo here. I promise that even non-drummers will be transfixed for the whole piece:

probably no vids on earth of her, but the one that made the biggest impression on me was lynn perko from the dicks (and later imperial teen). not that she was the most technically proficient drummer, although she was good. really it was because she just looked like she was having sooo much fun when she played.
if you want proficient i guess we can’t say peart anymore 
so i will go with bill bruford.
