I'm just not a big fan of instrumental solos, but especially unaccompanied ones. Plus something which is rhythmic rather than melodic - e.g. drums - is rarely going to hold my interest. The first time there's a 'WTFSKILL' factor, but the second time it's like, well, you're just bashing at 'em for ten minutes, aren'tcha.

If you can fit a drum solo so that it's awesome within the context of the music - say, the breakdown drumming in 'Won't Get Fooled Again' - then that's a different story. I hate Led Zep's live stuff usually anyway. They masturbate for hooooouuurs.

My Generation. I want to just take the drumming out of that...and listen to it separately.

He does manage some pretty ridiculous drums there. Nothing on the kit ever seems to stay still with Keith.

Check out some jazz.

I have too many albums of instrumentals to mention.

Who can't love Led Zeppelin's Bron Yr Aur, or, especially... Black Mountain Slide. The HTWWW dvd version is so neat compared to the studio

People always ask questions like this. And the answer is usually...

12 out of 13 tracks on The Octopus Project's album "Hello, Avalanche" are instrumentals with a flavour of 8-Bit. I like very much.
