Favorite Drum Solo

[BlueSkyJaunte]

For me, it's easily In-a-gadda-da-vida by Iron Butterfly. I've been listening to this song since before it was something people made jokes about.



PS: Check out that sexy Mosrite!

[GH85Carrera]

Same here. I bought the album in 1969.

Was a big fan of Iron Butterfly in my youth and would have to agree. The drum solo driifting into the organ solo is magical.

Drummer's name was Ron Bushy as I recall...

[Aragorn]

Moby Dick (Led Zepplin) has always been my favorite.

John Bohnam at his peak.

Iron Butterfly makes me think of the strange disappearance of the bass player:

Sounds right. The guitarist....Eric or Erik something...I seem to remember him being 17 when they recorded the album.

Makes me realize how little I've accomplished. Tom Lehrer once said, “It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.”

I've always dug Neil's solo in By-Tor And The Snow Dog.

I like Art Blakey's drum solo/intro on 'A Night in Tunisia.'

Neil Peart is simply amazing...

[hardflex]

Chicago I'm a Man is pretty good too.

Back to Iron Butterfly. In the 60's FM radio in Stereo was just getting started, and there was a Station in Pasadena CA that had real DJ''s that 'presented you' the music, not from a playlist but from their research of it and what they thought was good and interesting. I awoke one morning early to 'the Iron Butterfly theme' and it sounded soooo good ! I was hooked. Listening to that station was like going to school for good music. Anybody remember that?

Neil Peart of RUSH has a great drum solo in the song Working Man. As a kid I air drummed it a time or two

His son Jason ain't half bad either

This is probably my favorite:



Years ago I saw Future Man do a drum solo on a 5 piece kit while he was sitting in with the Wooten Broothers in a bar in Nashville. Maybe 3 mins into it I swear he transformed into into some kind of claymation character. It was too much to visually process. I know what I was hearing, but I still can't believe what I saw that night. Im pretty sure he is an alien.

Brian Downey (Thin Lizzy) Sha-La-La

[bkreigsr]

Gene Krupa - Swing, Swing, Swing (the uncut version: live version at Carnage Hall)

Then, #2 is Alice Cooper's drummer on Frankenstein.
...love the way it (drum solo) jumps back and forth on the old stereo speakers in the car.

Hey Bill, Is that Sing Sing Sing or Swing Swing Swing and what year?

[NutmegCarrera]

Just listened to "crazy fingers" with drum solo from "one from the vault" live disk by the grateful dead.
Pretty darned good. Nice tune to kick back to. Whole disk for that matter......
