Best recorded drum sound (w/apologies to the guitar thread)

Another one I like--Stewart Copeland's drum sound, specifically on The Police's Zenyatta Mondatta album.
 
Byrds + Lilys (+ Bears oh my!)

_Fifth Dimension_, _Turn, Turn, Turn_, _Younger than Yesterday_ from the Byrds and _An Amazing History of Amazing Letdowns_ from the Lilys.
 
Among several, I would say Frank Zappas' drummer on "Sex". Flat backin", black eye intro and Four wheel drive all the way through.
 
Ah, yes. Chad Wackerman's drums on the CD mix of "The Man From Utopia" are truly awe-inspiring in places. I especially like the BIIIG floor tom on "Cocaine Decisions". Too bad the album itself isn't that good. Ah, Zappa, why must thou be so fickle?
 
In cronological order-as I heard them for the first time
Phill Rhudd-AC/DC-Rocker...Roller...inspired me to play.
John Bonham-all of it is great-what a deep groove!
Nick mason-pink floyd, live at pompei(sp?)
Nirvana's nevermind album
Tim Alexander-Primus(frizzle fry)
Randy Guss-Toad the wet sprocket(fear)

alas the list goes on.... Tool and morphine are truly great...

I tend to favor raw unprocessed sounds like that of Snot and Step Kings. Older sounds that I like mimic that same desire for a natural minimalist recorded sound; Zepplin, Who.

I love the drums on Snot's album. In-yer-face and tight sounding. Another kit sound that I think about that I really, really liked that you may or may not have heard are Vision Of Disorders drums on their self titled cd.
 
Two CD's for me-

Tool- Lateralus- Danny is incredible and his kit sounds beautiful. Those paiste's sound like concert cymbals they're so clean

Korn-Life is Peachy- I love David's kit on that CD. I think his bass drum and snare tone are irreplaceable.

Two great drum tones.
