Best Drum Solos

 The Sheffield Lab Drum record.Entire LP nothing but drumming about the best Drum sound I heard.I also like Terry Bozzio on Zappa's the Black Page.

All great entries above....+1 on all of them.

A few more suggestions;

- Don't know if you can qualify them as a 'solo' performance per se, but every member of ONDEKOZA is at virtuoso level on their individual parts.
Any album by them qualifies as among the 'best drumming' performances....

- Kim Hok Man, "Master of Chinese Percussion"

- And finally, without a doubt, IMHO, anything by Neil Peart from RUSH!!! In particular his many iterations of the drum solo from "Working Man" over the years, his playing on Cygnus X-1 (both parts across 2 albums), Bytor and the Snowdog, La Villa Strangiato, Xandau, 2112, Tom Sawyer, YYZ,...the list goes on and on. What he does, how he plays and the orchestra-like 'force of one' he demonstrates blows me away every time.

As an aside,...if you have not read Peart's book "Ghost Rider, Travels on the Healing Road", I would highly recommend it.  A very deep, touching and immersive read,...

+ 1) falconquest: Patricia Barber "Cafe Blue" ..."Nardis", Mark Walker
Any time Carl Palmer can be "let loose".

My nomination is not really a drum solo per se, but two little "breaks" played by Don Lamond, Woody Herman's drummer, in the Bobby Darin recording of "Beyond The Sea". Too cool for words!

There are lots of very good percussionest.
Personally, I've always likes Buddy Rich.
