Hi

I don’t write here very often but now I need your help. I have weakness for military-like drumming and I adore a few songs I already collected which are:

“Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone)” Procol Harum

“Mr. Street Fair” Machiavel

“A Man for All Reasons”Argent

“Drummer Boy of Shiloh” The Fairfield Parlour

“Back Door” Kansas

“Guillotine” Deep Feeling

    Only short samples here but still...

“Harvest of Souls” IQ

“La Marche des Hommes” Morse Code

All of them are great compositions and I would like to hear more prog songs with such drums - one good thing army gave us Wink

I apologize if I am using wrong musical terms, I hope you’ll understand what I mean - if not, listen to “Magdalene” Smile

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'm going to take a shot in the dark here on precisely what you mean and suggest "Abaddon's Bolero" by ELP.

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.

I thought of Test Dept (very, very far from Prog-Rock) whose some pieces were driven by loud percussions on a military-like beat.
I also remember of a song from experimental punk-rock band The Ex, "Lied der steinklopfer" (on their anthology "Singles. Period")

There's exciting military-style drumming (by none other than the great Pierre Moerlen!) on the anarchic 'Ooby-Scooby Doomsday', one of the bonus tracks on the 2004 digital remaster of one of Gong's most enjoyable albums, ANGEL'S EGG.

EROC ( Grobschnitt ) does a lot of military-like drumming.

Interesting, I've never considered Moerlen's style to be millitary. 

I stand behind my Explosions recommendation, Chris Hrasky sounds very millitary to me.

Well, that ooby-scooby thing is meant as a parody, of course...

Barclay James Harvest - Summer Soldier (studio version)
 
If memory serves there's some "military drumming" ...or something similar on the Campo di Marte album and maybe on the Osage Tribe one ("Arrowhead), but I would have to check and make sure...

Jethro Tull's "The Whistler," Songs From the Wood, has some pretty martial drumming. So does "Crawling King Snake" off The Doors' LA Woman (if you don't mind a bit of blues).

If you enjoyed Harvest of Souls by IQ with the 9/8 Apocalypse section then why not Grendel by Marillion?

There is an entire genre called Martial Industrial, Der Blutharsch being my favorite.  Also, neofolk can have a lot of industrial drumming.  I recommend the band Rome

Also, the black metal band Summoning - http://www.myspace.com/upthehammers
