Even something as simple as keeping cool can make the solo better. A calm expression with a slight (very slight for you since you're doing thrash) smile can make it look like a cake walk for you. Making you look awesome.

Hey man,

I like to do a simple triplet roll.

one stroke on the tom, 2 on the snare, depending on your setup you can easily use this to work across the toms, so ill start out with the 1 on tom, 2 on snare, then ill use one on my left tom, one on the snare, then the third stroke on the right tom.

You can then move it to the cymbals, and its very easy to get it REALLY fast. Accenting with triplets, or even an 8th note pattern on the bass drum.

It seems very impressive, and it doesnt take a lot out of you, depending on where your solo is in your set, you can still have some energy for the rest of those thrash songs.
