Several Brazilian percussionists make nice stuff; look into Nana Vasconcelos and Cyro Baptista for acoustic percussion, and maybe Ramiro Musotto for electronic stuff. Also, look into Cuban rumba drum-circle type stuff like Lazaro Rós or Grupo Afrocuba de Matanzas; some years ago a San Francisco percussionist named John Santos put together a fine band called Coro Folklórico Kindembo and made a fine record called Hacia El Amor. Oh, and there's a record, Pieces Of Time, that features a quartet of legendary jazz drummers: Kenny Clarke, Andrew Cyrille, Milford Graves and Famoudou Don Moyé.

A little late, 'cause I've been scarce around here lately, but I thought I'd better make sure everyone caught the name John Santos, a crazy good conguero -- and yes, there's plenty of Cuban folkloric stuff out there that will scratch your drumming itch. Also, Santos' Latin jazz quintet is unbelievable, one of the best. Not pushing the envelope with structures, sounds and harmony like some of the big names these days (Omar Sosa, Yosvany Terry, Danilo Perez), but the group's rhythmic interplay is impossible. Just go see them if you're a Bay Area person.

I can't think of anything more percussive than early Detroit techno.

 

[calaf]

for the quintessential drumming experience you may want to try Steve Reich's "Drumming"
Listen

If you buy, I recommend the DG recording
Amazon.com: Drumming: Steve Reich, Bob Becker, James Preiss, Russ Hartenberger, Steve Chambers, Steve Reich, Timothy Ferchen, Leslie Scott, Jay Clayton, Joan La Barbara: Music
over the Nonesuch one they have at napster.

Anything with Zack hill (from Hella)

Anything with Bill Bruford in it (including the old Yes stuff he was a part of or his later solo stuff) is killer. Any of the Dave Weckl (as mentioned earlier) stuff, including the Chick Corea Electric Band recordings, is stunning. And the UK and pretty much any other Bozzio work is awesome. Lastly, Chad Wackerman (Zappa, among others)--crazy good.

Bill Elgart's, Percussion, recorded by Mark Levinson.

I just listen to older music, I'd say Rush is the most drum oriented band I listen to, next is probably Led Zeppelin.

 

[Dickies]

Jack Irons (original red hot chilli peppers and later pearl jam drummer) has a few records of his own out

 

[taffy2207]

I'd say Ill Nino are very drum oriented at times. The drumming is latin inspired over metal. This a lot of standard metal stuff from them but when they go off type they are really interesting :-
 

 
Also it might be worth your while checking out Indukti particularly the Idmen album, it's a very experimental album overall and has some great drumming.

Drum & Bass?
