Cool stuff Woj, thx for the link, if your brother is into that kinda thing he's prolly seen all the Modern Drummer DVDs, but a groove I thought was cool from the 2005 festival was by Rodney Holmes and is shown here:

Also from Modern Drummer 2000, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez:

Also Billy Ward had a really cool clinic on the MD 2000 DVD about playing different and using different techniques, I couldn't find anything of that on youtube unfortunately, but here's him and his band for MD 2008 (haven't seen this one yet, doesn't seem related to his "different playing" thing so much, but what the hell he's still a really good player) and the link seems to jump to others at the same gig, jumped to Simon Phillips for me w00t!:

Finally from MD 2000, Akira Jimbo shows a drummer how to play with him/her self :P

I'd like to add how glad I am that this thread didn't digress into some "my drummer is better than yours thing", as Lellu asks and I'll answer, no it isn't necessary to rank musicians on technical proficiency, but neither is it wrong to admire what folks can do. I know Neil is worshiped by many proggers, but I'd bet if you ask him of all the guys who've performed at MD festivals he wouldn't say he's most impressed by himself (hard for a drummer to admit that lol, but that's a guess and I don't know Neil). Anyway the MD DVDs are a treasure trove for anybody that loves drums and you can see some of it via youtube nowadays
Finally, a drum solo IS the ideal place for double bass, but I do agree DB is used far too often nowadays, especially in metal, I mean LZ was plenty heavy but Bonzo made it happen with one kick drum no? So I guess what I'm saying is, give the guy a break on using a bunch of double bass in his solo, rag on him if he uses it when he actually overdoes it playing with other musicians.
Edit: Since Mr. Neil Peart was mentioned in this thread, check out his web site if you haven't already (I just did), you can listen to drums whilst reading of his motorcycle travels, he's a good writer as any Neil fan knows, thanks Neil! (Zen and The Art Of Drummers Riding Motorcycles hehe):
