I might be wrong but Nimrodel - The White Rider by Camel has a military-like passage. Album is Mirage, of course.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Bruford's work on Fragile (esp. Heart of the Sunrise.) As I remember he was criticized for the tight military style at the time.

oh, and there is also some militayry drumming in "Marsch' n' Rock" from Guru Guru's album "Mani und seine Freunde", but a bit rocked up, after the introductory lines which translated mean:
the progressive general
freaked out at the battle memorial.
"orchestra", he shouted, "I'm in the mood
for 1, 2, 3, 4 marching rock".
and the band surely does oblige

Barrie Barlow of Tull played some great rudimentary/military field drumming sprinkled among some of his stuff.
I think on the album Songs From The Wood, Barrie used a marching snare drum? The drum is quite different in overall size, texture and tone, from a standard 5" or 6 1/2 inch deep kit snare drum.
Barlow even had one set up on stage off to the side of his glockenspiel in the middle 70's with Tull.
Additionally, I do believe, when I saw Page and Plant Tour in the middle 90's, that the late Michael Lee used this size as his main snare drum. Not that he did much military playing with it.
But, BJ Wilson from Procol was a master rudimentary player and used it militaristically very nicely.
I will say though, my favorite pure snare drum playing is Ravel's Bolero. When played corretly the dynamic climb of each stroke over the piece is truely something spiritual.
in many

there is military drumming on the first album of Mother Gong's "Robot Woman" trilogy in the track "Military Procession" (what a surprise!)
in "Circus" from Hoelderlin's "Clowns and Clouds" there is some military drumming too

Although not prog, Wings had a couple of songs with some great military drumming:
"Let 'Em In"
"Mull of Kintyre"

Maybe the march in 7/8 at the beginning of Genesis' The Battle of Epping Forest or the militaristic groove in Apocolypse in 9/8 from Genesis' Supper's Ready. |
Don't forget that one section near the end of "The Knife". Also, Pink Floyd's "A Saucerful of Secrets" has a good example in the Syncopated Pandemonium section.

Of course Hopper plays that amazing bass solo on, what's it called - "Alifie" I think!
