Default Re: What song has the best drum solo?

Todd Rundgren's Utopia, The RA album has a song called "Singring and the Glass Guitar" where John "Willie" Wilcox does a fun Drum Solo.

The solo itself on the album/CD is really probably only OK ( I am sure I have seen better drum solos at some of the Jazz shows I had been at) but it is interesting because it is intertwined with this silly story they are trying to tell with the song. It was also mixed pretty well which shouldn't be any surprise since it was produced by Todd.

Where it was really cool was in the live concert. They had this crazy water fountain setup all around him that was kind of like a mini Bellagio fountain sort of thing that was all synced to the drum solo. Probably had to be there to really appreciate it but it was cool at the time. The drum solo was also WAY longer during the concert.
