I’ve seen a few live performances by Tommy Lee that were phenominal. One complete with a magic show where he disappeared.

Agreed - During the “Girls, Girls, Girls” tour they spun him upside down, it was pretty impressive. In The Dirt he talks about how he played drums for the marching band in school and is where he learned a lot of tricks.
I have also seen a good drum solo by the drummer for April Wine - but he had to take oxygen halfway through (those guys are getting old).
No votes for John Bonham? I would’ve thought he’d be in here somewhere?
I am not a drummer and would love to hear some opinions on that…

Bonham is mentioned several times. Including the Op.

I was listening to Moby Dick on the way in to work today. It got me thinking about great and famous drum solos.

Some Hip Drum Shit from Tony Williams is pretty groovy and not too long. Williams is pretty much out there, though, on Miles Davis’ *Sorcerer * and *Nefertiti * albums, where his drums kinda lead the great quintet.

I am not sure if it was this I watched, or a Phil Collins solo concert (with Chester Thompson). They are both sitting in a sea of drums and cymbals, both playing out of their skins, and doing something that is so much more than Crash, Boom, Bam. Amazing.
Best bit of drumming I have ever seen.

I saw his solo tour and this was how they opened the concert. Absolutely awesome.
