I usually pick Ginger Baker's drumming on 'Ease' by PIL as my favourite so I'll go for something different this time:

The whole track, breakbeat before 'they' even knew.

Awesome...

And then there is Bruce Mitchell on Brushes - he seems to be enjoying himself?

I give you Joe Morello on Dave Brubeck's Take Five in 6/5 time. The master.

From a personal point of view, it would be In A Gadda Da Vida, about 6 mins in. Purely because I used to like to try and copy it

Somehow I have suceeded in giving this a thumbs down - bad me! A big "yes" - the live version on the "Kids Are Alright" is the one. Shall we have a thread for "best scream in Rock" so that I can nominate Roger Daltrey for the same track?

I have always like the drumming in Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis.

Maybe not 'the best' but certainly a spine-tingling-ly atmospheric drum solo from Nick Mason.

I was thinking of Ginger Baker, Keith Moon or Bonzo, but great drumming can often be simple so I offer Joy Division:

If you go in YouTube, look up Funky Drummer by James Brown.

The best bit of drumming I have heard.
