Geez, I better stop!
Percussion is 1/2 of the equation for me, on equal footing with bass imo
Nothing like something that makes you swing you hips
I think Shackleton dons it out quite hard on the percussion side of things, especially how he gets that very acoustic, hypnotic element down to a tee. Also have to say Ramadanman, you just have to listen to Blimey to know

I think it pretty hard to argue with Ramadanman's drum patterns. Also thought the percussion throughout Jack Sparrow - Circadian is sublime. And for a less obvious shout, Coleco's drums are SICK!

Gotta be Burial, Synkro or Joy Orbison for me. Most of Joy's stuff is quite simplistic but really effective

obviously shackleton, death is not final in particular. He works with live percussionists on tunes too.
rockwell for dnb, new tune with untold is madness!
