Where Eagles Dare by Iron Maiden is the first to come to mind. A fine way of introducing their new drummer at the time, as it was also the start to the whole album.

I'll have to relisten to that.
But in a similar vein I have to mention Painkiller by Judas Priest...also an excellent way to introduce a new drummer.
Or was it a new drummer....I forgot.

It was. Ram it Down had Dave Holland and Painkiller was Travis's first with Priest. I will go with Rainbow's Stargazer.

I've always been kinda fond of the opening in "Atlas"by Battles. It's very simple, but perfect for the build-up the whole track. Same goes for "Leyendecker", from the same album.

Hancock's Crossings has a nice drums/percussion intro as well.

Vanden Plas's Iodic Rain has a very good drum intro, and I rather like the drumming thatstarts Isis' Wrists of Kings.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Easily the reprise of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's the mother of all modern drum intros.

The same I would choose  . Unfortunately, now I can't remember any other similar tracks, but I'm sure I will later in the day.

Carousel from Solution's Fully Interlocking.
The recording quality is unbelievable and the music is brilliant.

Another one I really enjoy, in fact more than the one I first mentioned, is Dream Theater's 6:00. It's possibly my least favourite track of that album, but the drum intro is just brilliant.

Me too...and yeah, had forgotten about this one, kickass intro indeed! It's actually my favourite track from the album...it might sound silly in places but it's so damn infectious!

Actually, "6.00" is my favourite track on an album which I find very hard going at best. If all the album had been like that, perhaps I'd have enjoyed more.
