Drum solos usually aren't my thing outside of jazz, but this thingmoves me:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. The top of the line is, of course, "The Black Page"

[mitchum]

7. That is excellent and makes up for that cheesy band where his wife wore...

goldfish bowls on her tits

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. And not so much a solo, but still goddamn amazing is Reich's "Drumming"

[ZombieNixon]

8. Saw this live.

Or a variation thereof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QumA1nvlbpk

10. I was surprised to see a guy like this playing with Dave Matthews

Carter Beauford

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOatIrazULw

His bass player, Victor Wooten is also quite talented

[Rambis]

11. One of the best :Soul sacrifie Santana at Woodstock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnamP4-M9ko

Side note the only reason Santana palyed at Woodstock is because the asked Bill Grahham to help out and he said he would if Carlos got to play if not NO!

[hellbound-liberal]

14. Wow, Rambis! That kid was awesome! I haven't seen him before

Here he is at Montreux, two years later. Enjoy!

26. Here's a newer Carl Palmer snare solo that I like quite a bit:

His comment at the end is an understatement.

13. Wipeout

[AllegroRondo]

16. The Professor

the one and only Neil Peart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EggychOxOuU

[hellbound-liberal]

18. Here's one of my favorite solos by Neil, at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert

It's nice to know that he respects one of the pioneers in the field. The band members seem to be enjying it too!

[southpaw]

17. Gavin Harrison

This isn't technically a solo... but kinda. In this clip, Gavin is demonstrating several advanced techiniques while playing along to a recording of 'Futile' by Porcupine Tree.

This is seriously worth watching... and rather brief, for those who don't care for lengthy drum solos.

19. Say what you will about Kiss

Peter Criss is a phenomenal drummer.

God of Thunder, Live 1977

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_zlJJrZvRA&feature=related

Advance to around 3:30 to avoid the theatrics.

[Alexander]

27. Peter Criss took drum lessons from Gene Krupa himself.

I also think Criss is underrated as a drummer, and Ace Frehley was tapping while Eddie Van Halen was still in high school.

23. Hard to top this jaw dropping solo by Buddy Rich.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgeX9iYOFSQ

[Twillig]

24. Mike Portnoy's solo.

Best guy I've seen.

stick around at 5:30 he pulls an audience member on stage to drum.

Then he gets a guy from the back row

"Doesn't matter if he's in the back row he's having the fucking time of his life all the way back there. Come on up dude, come on and have the best seat in the house."
