Top Ten Rock Drum Solos - The Orange Mane

Swedish Extrovert · 03-27-2006, 12:02 PM

I adopted an idea....

Moby Dick - Led Zeppelin/John Bonham
Live Drum Solo - Rush/Neil Peart

Sheeeet. I'll think of more...

ludo21 · 03-27-2006, 12:10 PM

Drummer in Dreamtheater is AMAZING!

Garcia Bronco · 03-27-2006, 12:16 PM

Any Grateful Deadshow

epicSocialism4tw · 03-27-2006, 12:20 PM

Micheal Baker - "The Way it Is" (Bruce Hornsby-Here Come the Noise Makers)

Alan White - "Gates of Delirium" (Yes)

Manu Katche - "Secret World" (Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live)

Florida_Bronco · 03-27-2006, 12:23 PM

Phil Collins drum solo in "In the Air Tonight" was pretty damned good.

anthonypacino · 03-27-2006, 12:28 PM

Anything by Neil Peart (Rush), John Bonham(LZ), Keith Moon(The Who) and Jimmy Chamberlin(Smashing Pumpkins)

Peart is AMAZING. I play the drums on the side a little, and I have much respect for him.

cousinal11 · 03-27-2006, 12:40 PM

I agree with Moby Dick, the fact that he used to play with his bare hands is amazing to me.

I used to "bang the skins" myself but after trying to emulate these guys and coming NOWHERE close I have given up awhile ago, my skills have faded badly. I would have been kicked out by a garage band...

i too have faded badly as i dont play near as much as i did. One of those things that you have to practice at a TON!

PLOWHORSE · 03-27-2006, 02:07 PM

Head-Hands and Feet..By the drummer of the 1970s version of Santana! Freaking awesome.

Rulon Velvet Jones · 03-27-2006, 02:10 PM

Buddy Rich.

Because he would drum, then drink and b**** someone out.

Dave Lombardo from Slayer.
Angel of death

Smiling Assassin27 · 03-27-2006, 02:24 PM

Steve Smith from Journey is sick as is Jonathan Mover.

Sir Mawn · 03-27-2006, 02:25 PM

Buddy Rich is tops all time.

Bill Bruford
Manu Katche

broncofan · 03-27-2006, 02:44 PM

Great topic.

Neil Peart - Anything he does. Period. The best of all time IMO.

Tommy Lee. I have to mention him being the huge Crue fan that I am. Pound for pound his solos really don't stand up as some of the greatest, but he's more about showmanship anyway. Plus, his kit sounds phenominal and his bass drum tears right through you when he hits it in concert.

Steve Gadd - He is known as one of the greatest of all time. Rightfully so...fundamentally sound and a total joy to listen to. His solo on Steely Dan's "Aja" is great.

Danny Serraphine - His solo in "Make Me Smile" by Chicago is sure and sweet, and is one of my all time favorites.

John Bonham - He's the only reason I can bear listening to Led Zeppelin anymore, and "Moby Dick" is great.

Steve Smith - I grew up loving Journey, so Smith was the first drummer I ever became familiar with. "La Do Da" off of their "Captured" live disc is great.

Just listen to Blind Faith by Dream Theater from beginning to end. It's sick.

He's among the top drummers of the world, no doubt.

I don't know about drum "solos", but Blind Faith is one of the best things I ever heard by a drummer.

Nuggets4 · 03-27-2006, 02:54 PM

"Toad" - Cream (Ginger Baker)
"The Black Page" - Frank Zappa (Vinnie Caliuta)
"Aja" - Steely Dan (Steve Gadd)
"All Blues" - Los Lobotomys (Caliuta again)

Rock is harder to find great solos. Buddy Rich was, and always will be, the king.

Smiling Assassin27 · 03-27-2006, 03:13 PM

Witch Hunt-Rush
5150-Van Halen
Don't Stop Believin'-Journey
Achilles' Last Stand-Zeppelin

Rock Chalk · 03-27-2006, 03:22 PM

Tommy Lee, "Girls Girls Girls"

Lars Ulrich "One"

I remember watching videos and audios of his miscues live... it's awful!
You have to give credit to Metallica, no doubt... but they are definitely not the best musicians out there. (and I don't like the music that much either)

They do have some great songs, though.
