Re: Solo Woes...
Don't feel bad, I don't do solos either. In fact, I avoid them like the plague. But if its just a few bars after an introduction, then just connecting a few fills together that are appropriate for that song should work great. In fact, if you keep it short, simple and keeping with the song style, it will be more tasteful, IMO. Even just a simple snare fill with a roll at the end and a cymbal crash would work. One thing I don't like is long drum solos in songs that turn into different tempos and rhythms and dont fit the song. If a lead guitar player did that, they'd be out of the band...so why do drummers get away with it,LOL?

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
