Good but could have been better
I know, no one can list everyone's favorite drummer, but no Buddy Rich? Gene Krupa but no Buddy Rich? Then there's Ian Paice, one of the most talented drummers around, and we get him in a groove featuring Richie Balckmore? It was more of a guitar solo than a drum solo. Sandy Nelson? You've gotta be kidding me. Then we get a drum sync of Ron Bushy? And Carmine didn't know it was drum synced? (I think Carmine called it lip sync.) Keith Moon was a respected drummer (love his I Can See for Miles playing--refusing to fall into a 4/4 groove), but we're shown a bunch of noise and goldfish in a drum?Absolutely loved Powell's clasical work! And Neil Pert mixing melodic percussion with drums. Tremendous. Danny Seraphine's solo was excellent (you could see Terry Kath having to count the measures to know when to come back in). Carl Palmer show why he's one of the finest ever. I was surprised to see Don Brewer's solo, and it was inovative (head on the snare?). Mel Taylor's solos are always clean and technically sound, and of course, the host, Carmine Appice, was excellent. I wish we could have seen his solo on "Break Song." (The whole cut is excellent).Still, no Buddy Rich?

About time for the Rock Drummers to get a solo DVD!
Carmine Appice was the perfect choice as a host for this collection of rock drum solo clips. He adds the right amount of background, stories, and respect for nearly all of the drummers featured here. He was there when most of these guys got started or made it big. As a rock drummer and a fan of classic rock, this was worth the wait. Some may have seen these clips on YouTube - get this DVD so you can watch them any time, and with much greater clarity. I hadn't seen the clip with Ian Paice before, and I thought I'd seen them all. The Carl Palmer solo is just incredible, and it's from the early days of ELP, when he played a Gretsch round badge kit. The interview with Ginger Baker is hilarious; the solo by Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker may be the best thing on the disc, and that's including Neil Peart's mesmerizing solo from 2004. Bring on Volume II!

it was okay
expected the solos to show more of drummers hand movement. it was more like a video to entertain, not showing their drumming skills. alot of the early footage was not necessary; was not focused on drumming.

Gift for drummer hubby
This is okay but I personally think it gets a little boring after awhile. My husband listens to it in segments. Otherwise it's a sensory overload.

It just "OK".
Not much out there like this but leaves a lot to be desired.

Classic Rock Drum Solos DVD
This video is amazing! From the 1950s to 2004! Over an hour and a half of fantastic drumming! Carmine Appice is your narrator, which makes it even more amazing! Starting with Gene Krupa and ending with Neil Peart, this is the perfect dvd for a drummer or drum fan!

The worst music DVD I've ever seen
I should send it back to you. I'm a guitarist thinking this video would be a nice gift from my best friend who is a drummer himself. The more I watched, the more disappointed I became. I can't believe for a second that Amazon would sell this DVD ever as it's not worth the time to watch it even once.
