drum solos are there so the people have time to have a smoke and get another beer before the final few tunes.

You see? Someone's looking on the bright side.

Drum solos are there for musicians who think technical competence is a higher priority than honest integrity. I could'nt care less if you are not a great drummer as long as you are playing them for the right reasons.

It doesn't make them bad drummers whatsoever, but that's why they're overrated to begin with. Both Carey and Peart make a point of showing off how many heads they can whack in one sitting, and it's not flattering. And it really looks like they're confused when they're on drums - like they don't know which head they should hit. In my book, mechanical (not technical) finesse and energy counts for waaaaay much more than how big your drum kit is.

I'll take John Dolmayan over Neil Peart any day.

Neil Peart and Danny Carey can be show offs live, but in studio they're just doing their job, they just happen to do it really damn well. Seriously it's not like every f*cking Rush song has a 10 minute drum solo.

If anyone you should target people who show off but don't actually have the skill to back it up.

This applies to god knows how many metal drummers, enter Tommy Lee, Lars Ulrich, Peter Criss.

To me a pure simpleton like Meg White isn't a bad drummer, she plays incredibly simple stuff but it suits the music perfectly, thats the important thing. A bad drummer is someone who can't keep a beat, and worse someone who tries to dominate a piece when they don't even know what they're doing.

YYZ is a showoff song for all the members of Rush. Aside from Geddy's bass, I don't really like it.
