@mrnoodle: On Megadeth's last album the drummer was Vinnie Collaiuta! He started as a Zappa drummer, almost got pigeon-holed as a chopsy show-off (of course, playing Zappa's insane charts) but broke out of that mold and became a hugely versatile drummer who went on to eventually do alot of groove-based work with Sting (and he also cut some Steely Dan tracks, so he was doubly on ^^^my list^^^) . . . anyways he rocked so hard with Megadeth it blew me away. Some very subtle but incredibly difficult figures on the double-bass. Who knew Collaiuta was a double-bass guy? That's the kind of dude he is, one of the best all-around drummers out there.
