This is one of the greatest drum solos I've seen (...having seen MANY), and it was recorded by a fan in the crowd at an Extreme concert (Hammerjacks, '95). The song they're playing before the solo is "Cynical," and the one they go into afterward is "Play With Me." (I have "Play With Me" in its entirety posted in a separate video.) Mike has greatly improved since then, of course, but there's something about this solo. I could write a full essay about the stuff that's awesome here. However, I'll just let the video speak for itself. Those of you who are into drums - in particular, soloing over ostinatos, double-bass, ambidexterity, polyrhythms (tough stuff!), etc. - you'll understand. Here's yet another example that shows that Mike has all along been a very musical drummer, ALONG with his obvious technical ability. Of course, this is all just my opinion. If you insist upon comparing him to other drummers (especially out-of-context comparisons like Buddy Rich or strictly-death-metal guys), then we won't agree. But hey - variety is good! |
