Whatever you can suggest would be great. There's a word that sums up what I'm looking for but I'm damned if I can think of it, but I think you've got a good grasp of what I'm after - I guess stripped back to the bone music - loads of people with drums having partaken of an ancient hallucinogen just banging away

Gotta ya Hirs ...and that was American Indian Music our Native Americans and African Music idigineous to different countries of Africa, all very primal and
soulful....and the above fit your criteria:ancient,hallucinogens and banging away into a frenzy....
But African American's make most of our best music here, in most genres .. If you dig hip/hop I'd recommend the new Kanye West album "Graduation"
some good beats on this one.

Take care,

Blast! I meant American Indian , sorry, that's what trying to type too fast does to someone with just two typing fingers.
But, hey you've certainly got my drift with the rest of the stuff, although I'll admit to scepticism to Kanye West but I promise to give it a listen never the less

I'm not sure this recommend is exactly what you are looking for but I guarantee the last couple of minutes of this track will move your whole house sideways down the street
This post also gives me the opportunity to pay a tribute to Joe Zawunil, who, sadly, went to that great Big Band in the sky last week.
On Sparks/MM there is a live album of Joe's called 'Brown Street'. It is a fantastic example of the jazz/rock/afro/impro/big band/fusion style of music Zawinul was a master at creating. Getting to the point, have a listen to the last track - 'Carnavalito' - it starts with a drum solo which is really just a taste of what comes later. The music builds featuring various soloists in front of the band until, about 4 minutes out from the end, the percussion section and drum soloists let rip to bring the piece to a volcanic conclusion.

Hi Squash, If I'm honest it's not what I'm after for the, hoped for, drumming collection. I'm probably being too ambitious in that I'm looking for tracks that are wall to wall drumming with nothing else in between.

HOWEVER it's one hell of an album in it's own right and irrelevant of what I'm trying to do on the drum thing the album's downloading as I type . I'm not normally that keen on 'Jazz', but this album is more than Jazz. I don't know how to describe it (and frankly speaking I'm not that interested in pigeon holing music), but it's brilliant. Thanks for the recommend.

Glad you liked the 'Brown Street' album - the title track and 'March of the Lost Children' are standouts for me. Like you, I am not really into modern jazz and stumbled on to this searching for online music by a classical pianist I like called Freirdrich Gulda. He was also a closet jazz tragic and did a few collaborations with Joe with amazing results (I started a thread on this music a while ago, if you are interested).
I am out of ideas for your particular quest, but my labrador insists you let us all know what it is when you eventually find it

Squash,

This is the first I heard of Joe Zawinul's passing.. I am saddened by
the news..He was a wonderful innovator and will be sorely missed.
In his honor I am downloading this album tonight on yours and
Hirs recommend, and will listen and enjoy.

and Hirs I didn't forget about this drum thread.

Thanks for sharing,

[Hirs Ute]
