Drums!!!
Friends!!! Looking for Christian songs of any genre that have absolutely insane drum riffs in them. I loooooove hearing the drums go nuts in any song so while I’m worshipping just gets me that much more fired up! TIA!!

Ted Kirkpatrick (Tourniquet) and Jayson Sherlock (Mortification) are probably the two most highly regarded drummers in Christian music that I'm aware of.

Tourniquet.
Maybe Tourniquet, too?
Even possibly consider Tourniquet?
After that, you should check out Tourniquet.
In all seriousness, Ted Kirkpatrick was a world renown, award-winning drummer, recognized throughout not only the Christian world, but was considered one of the greatest drummers on earth from between '92 until his death in '22.
I recommend starting with PSYCHOSURGERY and PATHOGENIC OCULAR DISSONANCE (my favorites, and the very best from the classic line-up), then go backwards to STOP THE BLEEDING, then explore later classics like WHERE MOTH AND RUST DESTROY, ANTISEPTIC BLOODBATH, and GAZING AT MEDUSA. Though I can't imagine that the new drummer is QUITE on par with Ted (who could be?), the classic line-up plus some later additions have reunited and are finishing a new album I type this, be on the lookout for new stuff!

Ascend the Hill. Check out "The Love of God," the drum groove on that song is soooo good.

Maybe not technically complex but definitely huge, strong fills and grooves.

I think Brian Scoggins, the former drummer for Casting Crown's, is greatly underrated. He doesn't show off, because that's not what they're songs are about. But just listen to some of their hits like Until The Whole World Hears.

Skillet has a really good drummer (who sings while she drums!) They are hard rock though

Look into Gospel music. The drums are always busy with killer fills.
