. . . and the best solo, goes to

[Tonyblack]

I had this idea when watching YouTube, for us to post videos of what we consider to be the best solo performance of a particular instrument.

Let's start with Drum Solos.

I'd like to nominate Carl Palmer for this energetic piece starting at 2:43 from Karn Evil 9.

Can you beat it?

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Do you supply the big stick.

 

[Tonyblack]

Do you supply the big stick.

Nah! Jason has that.

Neil Peart:

 

[Tonyblack]

He wears cycle clips to play drums?

Excllent performance!

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Australian band Midnight Oil doing a live performance of Power and the Passion. Drum solo by Rob Hirst at the 3:13 mark. Not overly long for a drum solo but still very good.

 

[Tonyblack]

Excellent!

We mustn't forget John Bonham performing 'Moby Dick'. :ugeek:

 

[Penfold]

I was going to post Ric Lee from 'Ten Years After' but you know how looking at one thing on You Tube leads to looking at another.........

 

[Dotsie]

I haven't got my headphones so I can't check it, but I seem to remember I used to love Cliff Burton's bass solo in Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth).

My favorite track from my favorite group, and I was there.

 

[Tonyblack]

Some great ones there!

 

[Conforumist]

Weren't a couple of drum solos in the Youtube thread, or somewhere else? I recall them being excellent and worthy of being here.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

You don't rate Ginger Baker then Con. :

 

[Who's Wee Dug]
