Drummer with the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Most everyone knows "Take Five" (), but there also was "Castilian Blues" () (although on the album Countdown: Time in Outer Space, Morello had a nice solo with "Castilian Drums.") Here's another example from the album Time Further Out called "Unsquare Dance;" it's written in 7/4. (this includes some very trippy dancing).
As someone who is a musician, specifically a percussionist, I know it must have been quite difficult to keep up with the quartet's taste for odd time signatures (5/4, 9/8, 11/4), so Morello had his hands full. But he was perfect with Brubeck, Paul Desmond (alto) and Eugene Wright (bass).
