Some of you will really enjoy these....and some of you will get up and use the facilities and go get yourself a beer.  Anyhow, which of these 5 drum solos do you enjoy the most?:







Is five drums solos in a row just too much!!!!????  Vote for your favorite.

All amazing. Harrison is probably my favourite drummer right now, but I'll give my vote to Marco Minnemann for his solo here.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Marco hands down. And for those who have not heard his solo material, shame on you.

A very, very close poll. I’ll vote for Marco Minnemann, but not for for much.

The Gavin Harrison piece wasn't a "solo". Music was playing the entire time.

Out of the remaining, I'd have to go with Minnemann.

Yep.  Unfortunately I couldn't find anything where he was doing a true solo, but I liked how this video was focused strictly on his playing.

I'm going to give some love to Mani, although Marco's is outrageously good.

Really enjoy Marco's drumming, saw him once live with SW on GFD Tour....awesome, especially he gave my wife one of his drum sticks.
But.....I think Gavin is an absolutely amazing talented drummer, incredibly musical and is highly respected. Plus he also, along with Neal Peart, performed on the David Letterman Show during "Drum Solo Week"...

Gavin gets my vote.

Marco all the way, the man is a human metronome.

All the bands he has played with slay.

Purely based on these five performances, and not on the track records of each of the drummers, I was hesitating between Tim Alexander and Gavin Harrison. Since the latter is cheating (Wink) and the former is still pointless (Ermm), I am giving my vote to Tim Alexander.

Based on track records, I think I prefer Harrison, but of all drummers around I go for Terry Bozzio - that man doesn't even need a band (I saw one of his solo drum concerts which was very very amazing!).

Tough to pick between Marco and Gavin, both are damn masters of the drums but I went with the latter.
