Hi guys, this is my first post on Ultimate Metal!

I love metal, my boy loves metal and we're both drummers so I thought I'd make him a metal drum solo mixtape for Valentine's.

In your opinion what songs have the best drum parts that have to be on this mix?!

Thanks for your help! :headbang:
 
Intro to painkiller is all I can think of off the top of my head.
Oh, and Sabbath did at least one on the Paranoid album.
 
I don't care how metal it is or not, but you have to have the drum solos from the Rush live albums or you can't possibly be a drummer...
 
The most impressive stuff I've heard is from Tech metal or jazz drummers and wasn't in solo format per se, but a couple examples of good metal drum solos would be the one by Manowar's drummer Rhino in Achilles agony and ecstasy (Couldn't find on Youtube), and this one :

by Flo Mouriner of Cryptopsy

If you want a good example of quality drumming not in drum solo format here is :
Bobby Jarzombek of Spastic Ink
