Hey guys!
Happy New Years to all.
On another post, I remembered Mark Cranny, and what a great contribution he's made to drumming over the years. The stuff he recorded with Gino Vanelli on Brother to Brother and Jethro Tull on the "A" for Anderson tour still rock my world to this day. 1st left handed DBL Bass drummer I had ever seen that just ripped it up!!
Just curious to know what's everyones favorite pics are regarding drummers that were well known for their DBL Bass techniques (i.e. Peart, Tommy Aldridge, Louis Bellson, Bissonette, and others) and your recommended listening material to buy.

My favorite old school double bass drum performances would be...
Billy Cobham w Mahavishnu Orchestra 'One Word' and 'Birds of Fire'
Ian Paice w Deep Purple 'Fire Ball'
Terry Bozzio w Zappa 'Yo Mama'
Narada Michael Walden w Robert Fripp on the album Discipline
Simon Phillips w Jeff Beck 'Space Boogie'
Alex Van Halen 'Hot For Teacher'
for starters...

When you said, "Just curious to know what's everyones favorite pics are regarding drummers" did you mean, picks?...not "pictures" right--I have those too! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Gotta go with Virgil on Planet X's CD Universe titled, "Dog Boots"
Oh...must always mentioned Tommy Aldrich from Pat Travers Band--"Boom Boom Out Goes the Lights" The DB work on that tune blew me away as a kid.

In no particular order:
Deen Castronovo: anything he did on the Shrapnel label
Alex Van Halen: Van Halen's "1984" and "5150"
Steve Smith: the Journey live album where he solos - is that "Captured" maybe?
Tris Imboden: Fee Waybill's "Read My Lips"
Scott Travis: Judas Priest's "Painkiller"
Terry Bozzio: Frank Zappa's "Baby Snakes" DVD, plus his early instructional videos
Dave Lombardo: any early Slayer CD
Gregg Bissonette: David Lee Roth's first solo CD
Simon Phillips: Jeff Beck's "There and Back," and the Pete Townshend CD that has "Give Blood" on it
Randy Castillo: Ozzy's "No Rest for the Wicked"
Tommy Aldridge: early Ozzy, Black Oak Arkansas, and Pat Travers
Billy Cobham: Mahavishnu Orchestra "Birds of Fire"

glad to be back - I finally downloaded Firefox, because whenever I accessed HOD using Internet Explorer, my computer spazzed out

Ok, lock & load... i am ready for the firing squad, but i am gonna say it anyway. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Lars, ...And Justice for All.
The only mainstream, recognizable double bass parts for an average listener, that i can think of:
Alex on 'Hot for Teacher' and Lars on 'One'.
I know Lars doesn't do what the other players listed here can do (or what many of the people who post here can do), but i have to say that there was some cool sounding double bass parts on there. They make me wanna air-drum on the pedals!
There is something to be said when something like double pedals, blasting away can make a memorable part for even someone who doesn't know what a double kick part is. Even though those songs were lucky and become popular, i still think it is an important part(s) since you could stop someone on the street and ask them about it and they would know what you are talking about, "... you know, the 'duga-duga' part!" [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I bet my mom would even know that section to 'One' that Lars plays on the kicks... and therefore, that is an important double bass pattern. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
... She still thinks there is something wrong with the speakers everytime i play her 'Dog Boots'... guess she isn't ready for Virgil quite yet [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah, I was going to add Lars - his early work with Metallica was pretty important stuff. Love him or hate him, the man helped create a genre.

Geez, no Vinnie Paul or Gene Hoglan to be found...
THose two guys are about the best db drummers I've ever heard. And they're heavy as hell...
