As usual when I want something I stick my request here, and I hope, as usual, I get blown away by other people's knowledge

I've spent ages looking, but haven't found it yet, but what I'm looking for is drumming or various percussion that will lift the roof off my house and send my car down the road sideways

I'm not looking for legendary rock drum solos (let's save that for another thread), more big, fat, loud, raw, Ethnic drumming - the more drums going for it all at once the better.
There could be some other instruments in there, but only as long as the drums are the dominant factor.

I've sort of made start albeit a fairly weak one. So far I've taken all the drum dominated Santana tracks I know and found a band which I think is Turkish, on GoMusic, called G-Night - 10 percussion based tracks from them but still not hitting the spot - nowhere near.

Any suggestions

Not very ethnic but how about Safri Duo - they're all drums

Hirs,
Give me a day or so ..you know I Love African music..I will get some
contemporary jams that featuture the drums, and there is a great deal
of music from India that I love that features druming and of course
I gave you some Latin jams but there are Brazilian drum groups that are
very ancient and intense.And the American Indian can really cut a good
groove.

See you soon,

The soundtrack to "Master & Commander" - track 13 'The Battle' - gets my Labrador going every time.

Thanks Solaris, I'd never heard of Safri Duo before , but there are a few tracks that should certainly be included.

Hi Nightfly, anything musical you don't know about - I was thinking about starting a thread on "great vibraphone tracks" but I guess you'd be there too

African drums - good and yes, some heavy Indian drumming could be great. Brazilian drum groups would be fantastic - the more intense the better African American you say - I'm listening.

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

Loosely quoting Sir Mix-a-lot :-

I like big drums, and I cannot lie!

I don't know that there are any drums prevalent pieces/artists in my collection. At least nothing that will get squash54th Labrador going too much

<<<.... she says while DRUMMING her fingers in terrible frustration at the amount of work on her desk >>>

I'll worry about Betty's wardrobe once Winter comes. Must say - Google has an infinite supply of Betty Boop images!
