Talk:Drum solo

message: Modern Drum magazine recently devoted most of an issue to the drum solo. One of its articles listed what the magazine considered to be the most significant drum solos and discussed them. Only two among this wikipedia article's list were mentioned in the Modern Drum magazine article: the Ginger Baker "Toad" solo and the Ringo Starr "The End" solo. Notably missing from the wikipedia list is Gene Krupa's "Sing, Sing, Sing" solo, perhaps the most famous drum solo ever. The list is also far too long, dwarfing the rest of the article. It needs to be considerably shortened and it needs to be made far less subjective. The criteria for inclusion should stress fame over an extended period. If the list cannot be considerably shortened and cannot be made far less subjective, then it needs to be deleted altogether. TheScotch 10:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable Drum Solos

message: I have left roughly half of this in the article. The rest is more suited to Peart's own article.
* Neil Peart of Rush is known for his complicated, technical drums solos containing odd time signatures, complicated arrangements and exotic percussion instruments. These solos have been featured on every live album released by the band. On the early live albums, the drum solo was included as part of a song. On all subsequent live albums, the drum solo has been included on a separate track. 
Peart's drum solos include a basic framework of routines connected by sections of improvisation, leaving each performance unique. Each successive tour sees the solo more advanced, with some routines dropped in favor of newer, more complex ones. Since the mid-late 1980s Peart has utilized MIDI trigger pads to trigger sounds sampled from various pieces of acoustic percussion that would otherwise consume far too much stage area, such as a marimba, harp, temple blocks, triangles, glockenspiel, orchestra bells, tubular bells, and vibra-slap. Some purely electronic, description-defying sounds are also used. All are incorporated into each drum solo including:

thread_title: some Neil Peart info

message: I've read somewhere that the drum solo near the end of Abbey Road is actually played by Paul McCartney, as Ringo wasn't around for that session. Does anybody have info on this one way or another? Robotman1974 23:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ringo's solo

message: This reads poorly in places. I'll try to clean it up a bit, add sources, and examples that were mentioned in this discussion but no one implemented. There's not enough people on this page to merit extended discussion prior to making an edit and considering the poor condition of the article, I'm plowing forward. --Adam00 (talk) 10:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
