Ugh, I hate solos of any kind on any instrument. Yours was good RAMI, but I have to admit that if it was someone else playing it I wouldn't have made it past the ten second mark.
I'm from a generation of kids that would shove a tape in each others pockets and no matter how shitty it sounded we would love it. It would take weeks to make them sound that bad. How old do you think I am?

They are fucking boring, and I love drums. I've watched hundreds of drum solos from all the greats, and holy shit, they all suck. There's something wrong with me. I'm not inspired by technical wizardry at all.

I agree...with the exception of Buddy Rich. I can watch any of his solos and just sit there with my jaw hanging. Snare, one tom, one floor and one kik. His kit doesn't levitate off the fucking ground, there's no light show, no double kik going at 398mph to cover up a lack of talent. Just speed and tasty licks. He's the only guy I can watch soloing and not want it to stop.
I feel that way about Simon Phillips. Scary polyrhythms and four way independence, but musical and accessible - not like listening to Weckyl or something where you don't even know what just happened.
