Subject: Drum solos

Posted by: boxjaw
Date: Mar 08 11

There are many, many great drum solos that have been performed. I think that one of my favorites is by Neil Peart, from the band Rush on the album "All the World's a Stage". I'm not asking for anyone to rate the best drummer. I'm just asking you to give us some of the best drum solos' that are out there.

Youtube has gone too far now. They are making me link my account to Google now. Anton is mad now. Who was the drummer in your link SMW?

That Co zy link is a good one. (Hmmm. My comment is not accepted due to the use of the name of the drummer. c...y.)
Thomas Lang.
A kid of just 12.
Kai Hahto I like best. He may not be as fancy technical as Lang, but I was looking for drummers mid-set, solo with their band. Those to me are always the best.

A drummer who I think never got enough credit is Cesar Zuiderwijk of Golden Earring. He didn't play many extended solos in their studio recordings but I thought he carried "Radar Love" mostly by himself. Here's a video of that song where he did get a chance to do a solo:

Keith Moon may not have been the most technically best drummer, but he was one of the most energetic. Ever. I miss him.

John Bonham
Simon Kirke (Free & Bad Company)
Ginger Baker (Cream)
Ian Paice (Deep Purple)
Bill Bruford (Yes)
Cozy Powell (Rainbow)
and Mike Shrieve (Santana) who blew me away on the Woodstock dvd. They've all done great drum solos in their time and are all fantastic drummers.

I don't mind the occassional drum solo on a record but I can't stand it in concert. For example, I love John Bonham's "Moby Dick" to death and he's probably my favorite rock drummer but....20 minutes!? That's over the top. I think that to some degree solos take away from a band's identity and unity. Same goes for ridiculously long guitar or bass solos.

This boy, Simo Atso, has played the drums since he was 2 - that makes 7 years :)

Here's his performance on Estonia's Got Talent (Eesti Talent). I think he got the third place in the end but he's got both the talent and the time to accomplish a lot.

The drum "battle" between Shannon Larkin and Sully on Godsmack DVD. Amazing. You should be able to find it on youtube.
