Ditto the drum solo of the same name.

Name a non-tedious drum solo.
I know of only one offhand - Santana's 'Soul Sacrifice' live at Woodstock.

Depends if I have to stick to rock records
Because the drum solo near the end of Grant Green's reworking of My Favourite Things is, to me, what drum solos should be like. But as far as rock drummers go, I think Keith Moon had the right idea with his lifelong insistence that "Drum solos are boring."

Edit: The opening to the Surfaris' Wipeout is probably stretching the definition of a 'solo,' isn't it?

Re: your edit: it's barely a break, definitely not a solo.

I think there is one in Pictures of Home by Deep Purple
one of my band's songs has a drum and djembe bit. Not a solo though I guess, because two people are playing.

Nowt wrong with a decent drum break or percussion breakdown,
I've spent years and many grands acquiring them.

I may not have mentioned that I love the drumming on that Tractor album
simple, but the long rolls are superb. Makes me feel happy.
