It\u2019s less unheard of than you might think, and we\u2019ve got the tracks to prove it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following 25 songs are utter masterpieces because they let the guy behind the sticks get some time in the limelight.

John Bonham is one of the most legendary drummers in the history of percussion, so it makes sense that he was given so many drum solos across Zep\u2019s awesome and timeless discography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drum solo on \u201cMoby Dick\u201d kicks in about a minute into the song and is atmospheric, pulsating, and just plain impressive. It\u2019s sort of like closing your eyes while fireworks are exploding and just listening. Bonham\u2019s drum solo really makes this one of Zep\u2019s best tunes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to play a drum solo of your own, check out the drum tabs to \u201cMoby Dick\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songsterr.com\/a\/wsa\/led-zeppelin-moby-dick-drum-tab-s11830\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. \u201cToad\u201d by Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Toad - Cream cover by JSDrummer\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e2w_kU3UFtE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Release Date<\/strong><\/td><td>1966&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Genre\/Style<\/strong><\/td><td>Rock&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tempo (BPM)<\/strong><\/td><td>141&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToad\u201d is an instrumental from Cream on the band\u2019s debut album <em>Fresh Cream<\/em>, which came out in 1966. The five-minute track relents to the drums about a minute in, offering Ginger Baker the chance to do his thing. That\u2019s exactly what he proceeds to do for the next three and a half minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s right, almost the entirety of \u201cToad\u201d is a drum solo. Sure, the other instruments come in toward the end to bring the song to its ultimate crescendo, but really, it\u2019s an ode to Baker and his sterling percussion work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. \u201cIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida\u201d by Iron Butterfly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (Iron Butterfly); Cover by Sina\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xyF5A7BFnqw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Release Date<\/strong><\/td><td>1968&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Genre\/Style<\/strong><\/td><td>Psychedelic rock&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tempo (BPM)<\/strong><\/td><td>126<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Iron Butterfly\u2019s breed of psychedelic rock left a lot of room for experimentation. Just take the track \u201cIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,\u201d which means \u201cthe garden of life.\u201d The track is 17 minutes long and talks about the biblical meeting of Adam and Eve. With such a sprawling track length, there\u2019s indeed room for a drum solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ron Bushy shows off his percussion chops for four minutes of the 17-minute track, so he definitely gets his time. His solo was so well received that Ringo Starr\u2019s drum solo on \u201cThe End\u201d was inspired by \u201cIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s not an easy song to play by any means between the drum solo and the sheer length, \u201cIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida\u201d sure is a rewarding one.

Here\u2019s another interesting fact: this was the last tune the Beatles recorded together, which makes the name that much more poignant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike \u201cIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,\u201d which had a long enough track length to have room for a drum solo, \u201cThe End\u201d is only two-and-a-half minutes. Nevertheless, Ringo Starr gets his share of the spotlight. The drum solo might not be four minutes, but it\u2019s distinct enough that it makes this historic track all the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn to play along by following the drum tabs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songsterr.com\/a\/wsa\/beatles-the-end-drum-tab-s2841\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. \u201cYYZ\u201d by Rush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RUSH - YYZ - drums only.

One of those is in \u201cYYZ,\u201d a heavy-hitting instrumental track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four-and-a-half-minute track features some of Peart\u2019s best work. We know we\u2019re focusing on drums in this article, but the sharp instrumentation from Geddy Lee has also been called among his best, so altogether, this song is just an in-your-face sonic assault, but in the best way possible, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the drum tabs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songsterr.com\/a\/wsa\/rush-yyz-drum-tab-s16981\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> if you\u2019re up for a real challenge!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. \u201cWipe Out\u201d by The Surfaris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Learn How To Play Drums &quot;Wipe Out&quot; Surfaris\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hGrHotEAHdk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Release Date<\/strong><\/td><td>1963<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Genre\/Style<\/strong><\/td><td>Surf rock&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tempo (BPM)<\/strong><\/td><td>155&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the category of songs everyone knows, there\u2019s \u201cWipe Out\u201d by the Surfaris.

The pace goes up a notch, the guitar riffs shorten, and for maybe 20 or 25 seconds or so, the drums are the star of the show.

Yes, we think so! This eight-minute, jazz-inspired song features an insane drum solo that you have to hear to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gadd did the solo in two takes that were edited together into one impressive solo. However, he didn\u2019t have a part, per se. He was asked to come up with one on the fly, and after being told to \u201cplay like hell,\u201d Gadd more than did his duty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. \u201cDance of Eternity\u201d by Dream Theater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dance of Eternity - Mike Portnoy [ISOLATED DRUMS]\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pKuNSsgLsWI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Release Date<\/strong><\/td><td>1999<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Genre\/Style<\/strong><\/td><td>Prog metal, rock, metal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tempo (BPM)<\/strong><\/td><td>122&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Known in full as \u201cScene Seven: 1.

Santana is an amazing guitarist, truly one of the greats, so it takes a lot to keep up with him, but that\u2019s exactly what percussionist Michael Shrieve does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This song is essentially one giant drum solo. Sure, it features other instruments across six and a half minutes, but there\u2019s really only one you\u2019re thinking about the entire time you\u2019re listening, and that\u2019s the drums.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can perform your own Woodstock-worthy rendition of \u201cSoul Sacrifice\u201d by following along to the drum tabs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songsterr.com\/a\/wsa\/carlos-santana-soul-sacrifice-drum-tab-s17533\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. \u201cLa Villa Strangiato\u201d by Rush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rush - La Villa Strangiato (Drum Cover)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-Vkz7bRqBg8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Release Date<\/strong><\/td><td>1978<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Genre\/Style<\/strong><\/td><td>Prog rock&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tempo (BPM)<\/strong><\/td><td>143<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another Rush track with a drum solo, \u201cLa Villa Strangiato\u201d from the 1978 album <em>Hemispheres<\/em>.

This instrumental comes in at just shy of two minutes long. You might wonder where there\u2019s room for a drum solo in a track that short, but don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This song also has a supersonic guitar solo, so there are a lot of solos to love in such a short track.
