I'm finding that I've been REALLY enjoying drum solos on my system lately. They seem to work the whole speaker, from the kick drum in the woofers, to the tom-tom in the midrange, and the cymbals and high hats in the tweeters. And when it all comes together, they are the instrument I have the easiest time seeing in front of myself.
I searched the forums titles to see if there were any good drum solo discussions going on, but I didn't see any. So here we go. In no particular order, here are some drum solos I've found to be very high quality:
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - The Drum Thunder Suite
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Caravan Dave Brubeck Quartet - Far More Drums Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick Max Roach - Max's Variations
What are your favorite drum solos to listen to on your system?
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!
Drum Solos??? Thanks guys! Now i really feel old...:-) Back in the sixties it was almost mandatory in the middle sets to have a long one! Always wondered what the poor drummers did to not get a "break" in the show...:-)
