I think this was posted before - I'm not up on YouTube as much as others but the clip of Bill Withers doing Ain't No Sunshine with the drummer in the foreground (if memory serves) is rather nice. It's all very mellow and sweet drumming and he plays the camera and demonstrates why sometimes, less is so much more.

Totally off topic for a moment but I just have to say that the way that Withers introduces and then launches into the song in that video pretty much defines Grown N Sexy Real Talk to me.
I'm by no means holding this up as an example of a "great moment in drumming" for the drumming itself, but when I was 13 and taking drum lessons I have to say this gave me a bit of a drummer's woody. I loved this tricked-out drum riser that rotated all over the place. I remember seeing the video for "Wild Side" the first time and the part during the guitar solo where the drum riser starts spinning blew my adolescent drummer geek mind.
For that last minute of Mardin sanctioned mad Gaddness. Significant for a studio musician to be given the brush to run wild with, especially amidst the context of such a contemporary popular records grand finale.
Theres plenty examples of it, so its not exclusive to drumming. But rediscovering that moment on this album exposed me to see the difference in evolved anticipations the landscape of a "Studio" arrangement implies with an artist in todays market.
So to me its a reference for production chemistry that captures excitement and those spontaneous joy-of-playing moments like whats listed in this thread, caught being mega-incestous with the charts! Whereas today, it wouldn't be on an album, to hear such candid offerings of an individuals musicality you typically gotta go catch it live.
Trying to pick the best between 'takes' of one of these Great Moments In Drumming and arranging all the best bits is Frickin' dumb to me, but thats faster becoming the typical landscape Studio sessions got in store for our ears today. So don't mind me
