Not exacxtly what you described, but look into Ginger Baker's catalog. Although he generaly has backing musicians, most are very heavily drum dominated. I'm sorry I'm not at home to give you some titles of the more drum dominated albums.

Hi, Sheffield has a "test disc" called, I believe, "The Drum Record". I have it...couldn't find it to verify the exact title, however, if you like drums, you could add this one to the list!!! Led Zepplin, not sure which album or track, has a wicked drum solo...with the help of other "Goners", I'm sure these titles could be found out. I had a double set of Ludwigs with Remo skins, Zylgan cymbals and Ghost pedals...lots of fun!! |
Jeff Porcaro tribute This Cleanly recorded punchy disc has spent much playing time.Though reduced quality you can sample cuts on the link provided.I highly recommend it. |
In reference to Herman's post, when Ginger Baker played with Cream, he did an extended drumsolo titled "Toad". "Wheels of Fire" from around 1968 features a 14 min. (or so) drumsolo, recorded live at the Fillmore West, the like of which I haven't heard before or since. If you can find the double-LP cheap, check it out. The rest of the album is good, too, but obviously dated and not everybody's cup of tea. Cream was the first supergroup, featuring Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. Later,tons of imitators followed them, and extended drumsolos by lesser gifted percussionists became tiresome staples of rockconcerts. |
