Am I the only one who finds drum solos kind of boring? Mind you, I play in a Rush tribute band. And though I play guitar, I know every single grace and ghost note, flam, paradiddle and double stroke Neil plays in every Rush song. And I find his song work so much more interesting than his solos. And he still throws down as good a solo as it gets.

As for Bonzo, there is a lifetime of hidden gems in his non-solo work, from the squeaky bass drum pedal on LZ I to his crescendo snare roll at the end of Misty Mountain Hop. Pure gold. It's the kind of playing that, no matter how many times you listen to it, you hear something new every time.

Ok, here's a serious drum solo. Dennis is mostly a hired gun, so it's sort of hard to rattle off his best songs. I've seen him with Bela Fleck, John McLaughlin, Carl Filipiak, Billy Sheehan, Greg Howe, Victor Wooten, you name it. No harder working drummer out there and he kills it. Some of the subtle stuff here is hard to get if you're not a musician. But rest assured, this guy is as good as it gets.
