Bruford. South Side of the Sky.

Not sure what it is here, not exactly him showing off, but something about the overall sound of the drums and choices make this track stand out for me.

I'm with eSGEe on this....anything Peart does/did.

I remember my brother cranking this song on his record player With the door shut, so his kid brother didn't bother him. Even thru the door it sounded awesome.

Another Peart fave...

In response to the "showing off" comment. There is something to be said for playing for the song. In the case of Bruford and YES, what I sense is he plays tasty chops filled with touch, nuances and variety that make it like the glue to hold the pieces of YES together in the songs they perform.
