Best Drum Solos
@treebeard1 Thx for sharing not that was great. Apologies to all who have seen this already (42 million hits and counting) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ItZyaOlrb7E |
Check out this drummer from Canada https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryvuvac3JXo This is perhaps why I like all drummers - everyone brings something to the table either from a unique style, feel or masterful ability in certain aspects. I don’t think I could ever play like this - not in a million years - the amount of practice and dedication to pull this off is phenomenal!! |
As for Bonham, he really supported the song adding to Jones or Page while keeping everything in a funky swing feel with plenty of tasty triplets. No mention of David Garabaldi? And Dennis Chambers?? or Dany Carey ??? There are sooooo many fantastic drummers out there and I love them all including David Grohl, Patrick Carey and Meg White who all play in a wonderful self taught way that just sounds refreshing |
So far I see no mention of Phil Rudd the human metronome who just sits in the pocket all night long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tOKYFR4Rzg&feature=share I don't think I have ever seen Phil do a drum solo! |
+1 bdp all excellent drummers! I agree about the importance of tasty groove drumming that just carries the song I think Steve Ferrone deserves a mention too https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk3N84ArTno and Chad Smith who is just a fantastic groove pocket drummer (note how Chad doesn't need an expensive kit to sound great - it is all about the drummer?) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQghnflsBjE |
I am a drummer and I don’t really like drum solos as a groove feel is more important to me and just as difficult as all the crazy technical skill. Here is an example of both groove and tremendous technical skill and independence and good mix of musical polyrhythms (Latin Cuban style) - the groove is really solid and he accents to highlight the different rhythm feels. About half way through he goes real deep with groove - here he is playing with time with hands (behind the beat) but the feet marking time perfectly. This is exactly how it is should be done! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wvBRTHxsXCw |
