  Is there a purpose in a drum solo other than to bang as much
shit and as fast as possible?? :) After all, it's a solo and
not a song.

I mentioned Carl Palmer as an example of a truly great soloist.
Check the solo in 'Karn Evil 9' on the live record.  He presents a
lot of coherent musical ideas, even melodies, while in the process of
basnging hell out of his entire kit.  I think too many drummers take
the easy way out.  Observe during drum solos, the crowd reacts most
to the simplest stuff...
