I just have to add the original rock drum solo! I remember it well, because it was a 17 minute song, with a 5 minute drum solo, and that was unheard of before then.

Ina gadda da vida by Iron Butterfly, a band from right here in San Diego!

I loved in concert drum solos. It was the time to head to the arena rafters and toke up w/o fear of missing any good parts of the show.

They did some good stuff beside In a Gadda. But their best contribution to great rock was two members - bassist Lee Dorman and guitarist 'Rhino' - forming Captain Beyond w/ drummer Bobby Caldwell and ex Deep Purple vocalist Rod Evans. Those cats made an extraordinary debut LP that I still argue as the one 'desert island' LP of all time.

This one probably doesn't belong in this category but this is one of my favorite songs ever and there is kinda a lot of drums in it so..

Just heard this watching a replay of the movie Casino.

Its so linked to that movie now, Casino. Ginger Baker was a brawler on the drums though. Certain members of Rolling Stones
said Bonham was heavy handed. No Ginger was heavy handed... in the best way.

How can you play a drum solo w/o sticks or drums? You have to watch the video to find out. Hint - operative word is 'cheap'.
