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.
This is the first thing that came to my mind.
Same here.
A very simple intro, actually just the rhythm without music, but that I like a lot but a very underrated drummer is Alice in Chain's No Excuses from Jar of Flies from Sean Kinney.
A lot lies in the production. Megadeth's one for "trust" couldn't be simpler (non-drummers can play it) yet it sounds so powerful and menacing because the drums sound so BIG and LOW....

Robo-Warriors by Gong off the new album 2032, it's one of the funniest drum openings, and song openings in general, that I have ever heard! It's weirder than the middle-eighths for Eat That Phone Book Coda and Pot Head Pixies because it isn't even similar to Gong's style. That robotic sound has to raise a smile on your face. DAMN! This could make a good part for a review, I CALL DIBS! And I only heard 45 seconds of it....

I wish I could kick myself... Just saw a post mentioning Peter Gabriel's "Intruder" (a song I love), and thought about one of my favourite songs of all time, which opens in a similar way - Blue Oyster Cult's "Veteran of the Psychic Wars". True, it's not 'drums only', because the drumming is backed by keyboards, but the drums are by far the most prominent sound of the two.

The one that immediately sprung to my mind is Santana's "Soul Sacrifice".
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
