What turns your crank musically and technically in a drum solo? For me right now it is Joe Morello playing "Far More Drums" with Dave Brubeck. Plowboy turned me on to this in one of his posts. I am not into jazz and would not sit and listen to it, but I will sit and listen to good drumming. This is style and taste at it's best.
So what solo makes your heart beat faster when you listen to it?

Wow, hard one to nail down. I've heard many good solos by drummers that I can't readily identify. Many of those were on a DVD I watched while shopping at my local Guitar Center. However, the one solo that I immediately thought about when I read your post is Barrimore Barlow's solo on Jethro Tull's live Bursting Out album. Of course, anything by Buddy Rich turns my "crank."

Tough one Yeah its really a tough one, but I found Rod Morgenstein to be the great drummer and his solo on live record by Dixie Dregs Bring em back alive is very cool and also musical. I own a live video tape of Winger show and he does this same solo with that band too. Its like his trade mark or something like that. Neal Pearts solo on different stages is also cool. I was little dissapointed with solo by Mike Portnoy on live Dream Theater album. I think he is agreat drummer but that solo doesnt seem to have neither the tail or the head as we say it in our country. I remember this great solo from original Woodstock. It is by Santanas drummer. I dont exatcly know his name, but all around it was preety awesome. I am wondering what he was consuming before the show lol. Just some thoughts from me. Keep drumming Matt :  |

Tis a toss-up between Neil Peart's "YYZ" solos from the early '80s and Bonzo's "Mody Dick" solos from the early days.

Steve Gadd, on "Quartet No. 2," from Chick Corea's "Three Quartets." In second place by a hair's breadth: Don Alias' timbale/percussion solo (over a rhythm section vamp) on the old "Night Music" TV show (hosted by David Sanborn), on a tune written by and featuring the Brazilian singer/guitarist, Djavan. Not only was what he played "way cool," but you could tell that the whole band was energized by the solo - Hiram Bullock was basically bouncing off the wall.  |

Neil Peart's solos on "A Show of Hands" and most recently on Rush in Rio, cool use of triggers and samples
Terry Bozzio's Black Page solo
Bill Bruford on Yesshows

One of my favorites would have to be Tony Williams - "Lawra" on The Quintet : VSOP album.

Lately I have been in a very odd time mood.So lately the solo's that are turning me on ( in a manner of words ) are things by Virgil Donati,Neil Peart,Terry Bozzio.But mostly I can't have a favorite since every drummer is different and they all do things that no one else has thought of or can't or doesn't feel like doing.

I am wondering what he was consuming before the show It was Michael Shrieve and he didn't need to be on anything as he was 16 at the time, with energy thiat I have forgotted existed. Favorite Solo - Buddy Rich on West Side Story from the Swingin New Big Band Album Roger |

A particular live Neil Peart YYZ solo (don't know where it's from).
Joe Morello on Take 5 & Far More Drums.
Probably a lot more too but I'm not going to sit here hours to try and think of them.
Hippie out..........

Buddy Rich on the "West Side Story" tapes Billy Cobham with Jazz is Dead live in Atlanta in 1998. Neil Peart anytime, anywhere |

The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex or mechanical. If we cling to them, we will become bound by their limitation. Any technique, however worthy and desirable, becomes a disease when the mind is obsessed with it.

Really, there are so many awesome cats out there... lately I have been digging "the weck" off of some of my Chick Corea albums. I REALLY like how he plays and his yamahas just sound so clean. What a great player.

Yeah, that does me in, too. Gadd's solos always make me jump for joy - it's that feel - that tough, funky, powerful, thick-as-molasses-in-January feel.... I'm almost dancing in my chair just thinking about it. Here's a link to some solos online - Gadd, Rich, and others: http://www.drummerworld.com/drummersolo.html |

My favorite has always been the sole Mike Shrieve of Santana played at Woodstock. Soul Sacrifice I think. I guess the fills weren't the greatest but I liked the timbale or conga-like groove he got between snare and tom and always wanted to do that one myself but was never really in that kind of band.

Gene Krupa's accented dotted 8th notes on the large tom was pretty cool.

I really like Neil Peart's XYZ solo, Buddy Rich's solo from Channel Suite, and anything by Joe Morello, in particular his solos on C Jam Blues and Take the A Train(not really a solo, but sweet periodic fills). I also like Dave Weckl's solo in Time Check with The Buddy Rich Big Band.
