For the most part, I agree, but there are a few exceptions. If you don't mind dropping thirty bucks, and are one of the few people on this forum with a real taste for classic rock, I recommend the self-titled Led Zeppelin DVD, and watching "Moby Dick" on the first disc. Absolutely unbelievable.
Dazed:
Also every drum solo ever by Billy Cobham. Bad drum solos are the worst. Good drum solos are awesome.

Rush's Neil Peart is a fucking fantastic drummer but I think his rockouts are a bit over-rehearsed. I mean, every single time they play "YYZ" live, it is always the exact same. Absolutely no variation in any part of the routine.
Then again, I guess that stops Rush from devolving into a shitty jam band, so that's good. Self-regulation is admirable. Still, though, I sometimes wonder what Neil's improvisational skills are like, and feel bad that maybe two people in the world get to see them.
KeepACoolin:
My favorite bands tend to be the ones with some improvisational ability. I think it's a lot more fun to hear the different decisions they make on different cuts than to just hear the same exact thing- the Eagles did that, and that's why they're exceptionally boring.
