I play percussion and keyboard and one of my favorite performances to jam to is The String Cheese Incident 2001 Austin City Limits...
My guitar playing friend and I jam every two weeks or so. We play rock, blues or anything else my friend comes up with.
More than 50 years ago now. This just never ever gets old. Absolutely amazing song and fun to play on guitar. The drumming though is just absolutely insane. I wonder if drummers like playing this song?

Nobody plays drums like Bill Ward!
He is one of my favorite musicians.

I am old enough that I was a big fan when this first came out. There were some of us who absolutely loved it (and that wasn't necessarily an overall cool thing in 1970 or so). And yes we listened to it a thousand times, and in a way you could hear that drumming and of course it directly contributes to the whole song. But back then, our ears were focused on the guitars. and Ozzie's great singing. I don't think we really appreciated the drums.
Now, all this time later, with Youtube and other media keeping it alive, and having evolved myself in my music appreciation, I look at it and I just can't believe my eyes. If you just listen to the song from the album with an ear for the drums, it sounds beyond amazing. Watching him actually play it in this video is just a sublime experience.
That first phase of Black Sabbath is the formation of something that expands to greatness, all because you had just the right combination of 4 guys, each of whom had amazing talent, but there is always lots of amazing talent out there. When they combined together and made up these songs, that was something greater than the sum of the parts.

Our English teacher in High School asked us to do an essay and include lyrics on our favorite song.Mine was War Pigs,she read some lyrics to the class but I was shocked she didnt choose mine. 
Bill played a small kit on the first album. Bass, snare, high tom and floor tom. Ride, one crash and the two hihat cymbals.
Amazing!
