Anax, now here's a *real classic* from 1958 by Cozy Cole.

That's nice shit (groovy organ) but is you a' sayin' Free Jazz is or ain't an unreal classic? BTW here is a nice solo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8pbyeoLrU8 by another cool Jazz drummer Joey Baron - I like the way he doesn't see it as an opportunity to show off his technical prowess, rather he stays relatively speaking within the confines of the song.
I like a good jam too, but I'm a big fan of composition as an art form in itself, and I think few drummers are as sensitive to composition, in rock anyway, than Floyds Nick Mason - I love the tension between restraint the sense of fleeting time he creates in this intro:

Not the best segue in this version, but all the live recordings seem plagued by poor sound quality.
Yeah, I'm on a Floyd kick, can anybody tell?
I like Mason too. He always seemed to have a dead-on timing. I like his quirky atmospheric drum solo track on Ummagumma more than most if this breed, including the rather beautiful intro-outro. Some of the very deepest bass may be from some sort of primitive bass synthesis module or perhaps some slowed down bass drums.
If you were referring to the Ornette Coleman piece, I feel its a bit more than a jam because he and his band had been trying to take the improvisational aspect of jazz as far as it could go for a number of years. They usually relied on a small sequence of notes, and worked from there. The track "Free Jazz" is particularly challenging because it is seen as taking that approach to its ultimate conclusion (a genuinely musical system is needed to hear the interplay) but some of their shorter pieces are more mellow and easier to get into.
