- Obligatory Drum Solo (2:47) -- Three short excerpts out of a long, "everybody else leaves the stage" drum solo. For some reason, a few people (mostly drummers) still want to know how fast you can play.

I've been told "you can't do that", but lots of drummers do (or did)... Phil Collins, Mel Torme, Dave Tull, Don Henley, Karen Carpenter, etc. And I do it all the time.
