Any others recommendable?

Surprised that no one has mentioned the mercifully short but over-exposed solo on Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight".

the so called anti christ of rock?!

credit to the man: good composer and drummer.

 

He also did us a great service in getting John Martyn to re-record some of his finest songs for the "No Little Boy" collection.

Agreed.

Always enjoyed RUSH's  Neil Peart's Live solos, especially with the "electronic" Big Band.

There was a single in the sixties of The Burundi Black DRummers that was popular. 

 

+1, the big band solo, when hooked up to the light and laser show, was nothing short of gob smacking.

Not exactly a drum solo but Santana's Michael Schrieve's break on Soul Sacrifice as featured on the Woodstock DVD...

I always enjoyed the Space/Drums break during the second set of a 3+ hour Grateful Dead concert. Is it still a solo when there are two drummers? I think so.

It was fun trying to figure out which song they were going to break out of the jam with, as they would often give little hints. My favorite was "The Other One", which always started with a powerful Phil Lesh bass run. Good times!
