Drum Suite is an album by drummer Art Blakey with The Jazz Messengers and the Art Blakey Percussion Ensemble recorded in late 1956 and early 1957 and originally released on the Columbia label. The 2005 CD reissue added three unreleased tracks from a June 1956 session.
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars calling it "Groundbreaking for its time, and still sounding vital, powerful, and visionary, the Drum Suite album is somewhat of a lost masterpiece that deserves a fresh audience".
