My two favorite drum albums...um, of that period from about '87 to 1990, I love Steven Adler's playing on 'Appetite for Destruction'.

And that to me, that's always such a killer sign of an unbelievable drummer because you can basically play like the same rock music, I mean you can play like four fucking beats and get through a whole goddamn album.
