Steely Dan - Green Earrings also has some cool ones for the more advanced air drummer.

Neil Peart needs his own thread, but three that come to mind:

Spirit of Radio (intro to verse)
Tom Sawyer (series at the end of the solo before back into the verse)
Limelight (the end)

purdie's fill heading out of the bridge and into guitar solo #1 is incredible, but idk how i'd even begin to air drum that one lol (especially since a lot of it seems to be played with the feet!)

Can’t find one of green earrings but Aja is achievable if you know Kung Fu.

lol, the air drummer on that is totally me. when you play the aja solo you are legally obligated to make those "gently astonished at yourself" faces

I can't remember where I read it, but the story I heard was that Steve Gadd was brought in for the "Aja" sessions and recorded the title track in maybe one take, before he even heard Wayne Shorter's part. Gadd then moved on to another session somewhere else. Some time later Gadd (who was at the height of his self-destructive years) was invited back by the Dan to hear how the "Aja" was coming along, and after they played him the track he was impressed and asked who the drummer was. Their jaws dropped and they said "it's you!" Gadd apparently laughed and said "I'm a real motherfucker," then left.

Joy Division's Atmosphere.

The fills in Aenima by Tool (and 46 & 2). All of Demon Cleaner by Kyuss (and the opening to 50 Million Year Trip).

Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
Jorge Ben - Umbabarauma
And "Born on the Bayou" if the start counts as a drum fill

I'm always compelled to copy Dinger's little cymbal washes in Isi.

fair but i think it's more important to know exactly when to pluck those two earlier high air guitar notes

Wait, you don't air-drum the whole roto-tom intro?
