... love that type of song, takes one on a real journey - so far from the modern "squeeze everything into it that you can possibly think of, so the listeners won't get bored!!" dribble ...Jim Gordon (infamous for his playing on Derek and the Dominoes / Layla, and for murdering his mother), drummer on
Jump Into The Fire, sung by Harry Nilsson: (Youtube link)
drum solo at 3:58
a good test of a speaker is to play Dan Weiss' "Tintal" which translates a traditional tabla piece to a full drumkit - the drone is a Stratocaster - this will weed out the weak and the musicianship is exceptional

I love recordings where the energy and timing of the drummer absolutely drives the song forward, seemingly at a ferocious rate; it's not actually faster but there is a sense of relentlessness about the rhythm which sucks you in - lots of PRaT IOW, .
And in that vein I was reminded of the Chubby Checker version of The Hucklebuck, have absolutely no idea who the drummer was - and he does nothing special in the way of a solo - but the sense of urgency conveyed by the drumming is magic; everytime I hear it it gets me bouncing around ... this is the one of the real pleasures of recorded sound, to be able to tap that energy at any time ...
Edit: Couldn't let it go, had to find out who the man was, and it makes sense - Ellis Tollin, a very significant personality in the drumming world at the time, and to quote from a drumming site: "He was also funny, warm, quick witted, sharp as a tack, and very opinionated on topics near and dear to his heart." And that's exactly how the drumming comes across ...

take a look at Charly Antolini
His direct Cut Vinyl "knock Out" was famous in it's Time.

"Best"? - always a loaded subjective question, but while listening to my recently completed DIY audio store ACA kit, I quite enjoyed Mark Walker's work on "Nardis" - Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue
A little subtlety can go a log way in any solo - for example Michael Arnopol's tasty double bass solo intro on "Use Me" - Patricia Barber again - Companion

+1 Love their music, and got to see them perform once. Fantastic show.Hello,
What about KODO.
Way different than Dave Weckl and Steve Gadd !
If you ever will have opportunity, you should hear them in live !!!
