Not your typical 4/4

I used to listen to Frank Zappa quite a bit when I was in high school. I have since stopped listening to anything he composed with words because his vocals were usually pretty vulgar, but I haven't lost my taste for unusual time signatures and amazing drumming. Below are some examples.

Terry Bozzio (in spite of the speedos)


Chad Wackerman, Terry Bozzio, Chester Thompson and Ralph Humphrey

The whole 40+ minute jam session is available at: http://www.drumchannel.com/entertainment/13294.aspx

Vinnie Colaiuta


Most rock drummers couldn't touch this stuff.
