This is Charlie Adams, the Yanni's drummer and he's doing one of my favorites drum solo nowadays.



Enjoy!

A tip: just pay attention to the Yanni's face. Seems that the proper Yanni is not believing!

Several years ago, a symphony concert I attended featured every percussion instrument known but no other musical instrument - no strings, no woodwinds, no horns. When the piece concluded the audience sat in mute shock for a minute or so before breaking into subdued applause.

I can ante Charlie Adams on so many levels:

Numero uno. Virgil Donati from a Steve Vai concert live in Astruia. You pretty much get everything from Virgil:



Dave Weckl short latin solo

Dennis Chambers

Billy Cobham

And if you're into "orchestral solo" pieces:





The last solo is Neil Peart from Rush performing "O Baterista"(an arrangement of the proffesor drum solo he's being doing live for years) live in Brasil

And I'll add sum more since one reply isn't enuff.

JoJo Mayer at Modern Drummer Festival

JoJo is probably someone you'll dig if you like drum & bass, techno music. He's a classicaly trained musician from the school of Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa aka the godfathers of drumming. But he takes the technique(classical grip) and expands it just beyond the concept of a trap set drummer.

Check out his left hand sticking, flawless. Absolutely astonishing. He's got it all, great drum sound, beautiful sounding cymbals, amazing technique, and visually a joy to watch.
