Huge Elton and Nigel fan here. I've never found Eltons recordings to be worth a crap except for his newer and awesome Peachtree Road album and his live albums.
His older recordings are just bleak on anything other than vocals IMO.
However if you're interested in cd or dvd, check out his live concerts.. In particular the One Night Only concert and the Live at the Royal Opera House concerts.
The drums in those are what I'm wanting to hear. Mixed well, powerful, and made my Klipsches dance!
I know this is about vinyl but if you want good drums with Elton, you have to get away from his old original recordings.
