1. Tonight, Tonight. A whole song completely showing off a groove on a snare. The phrase "Its not what he's playing it's what he's NOT playing." Comes to mind...

2. Geek U.S.A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t50AitbL4II

3. United States Rudiment-tastic drumming!

4. I Am One Rudiment-tastic drumming 2!

5. An Ode To No One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA0sNVueB78

6. Doomsday Clock Although featured in Transformers, (which is the worst movie in the world ever) this is actually a fantastic song from the not so great come back album... Some very musical drum parts without trying too hard...

7. Stand Inside Your Love Spacious drum parts and left-hand-hi-hat-me-jig that I stole straight away...

8. Today Although a monster drummer he doesn't play all the time...

9. Age Of Innocence He can play a mean backbeat when he wants to.

10. Farewell and Goodnight He can sing and play brushes.

Jimmy we salute you!
