This, waffles for the occasional jazz drum solo that's good.

For my money, there are no snare drum with more dynamic range than a wooden Gretsch snare. Not always useful for rock stuff, but if you need to go from a whisper to "louder than a guillotine," here's your drum:

Not Crap if well placed (within a song/album/set) and played well, e.g....

I prefer guitar solos to drum solos, but sometimes if drum solos are (like DaveA mentioned) well placed and played well, then they are capable of sounding good in my opinion.

Guitar solos are bullshit. Pentonic, pedantic, what's the fucking difference?

Oh, it's in a MODDDDDEEEE.

Like pie, y'mean?

Brush solo at 18 minutes. How can anyone crush this hard with brushes?

I mean if we're bringing JOEY FUCKING BARRON into it. I have, and would, pay to see him play solo for 90 minutes.

You get 4 bars. Make the most of it.

You ain't kidding. He's such an incredibly musical drummer — I don't know how else to put it, but that's the only adjective that comes to mind. Killer tuning, too.
