<strong>I don't know if you happen to like their music, but RUSH has some excellent songs where Neil Pert has the "lead." Probably the greatest rock drummer there ever was...amazing.

Agreed.
Other than that this thread is OMFG, ROTFL.
There are drum intros and solos. The lead is melody, which drums don't do (unless your talking contemporary percussion ensmemble or actual pitched percussion).
And by the way, comparing rock and jazz drumming is like comparing Maynard Fergusson to Yo Yo Ma.

<strong>Keith Moon was the finest drummer ever, My Generation and I Can See For Miles are virtually all solos.
Mapigator is an ok napster replacement, though it's a bit too Top40 to find rarer stuff</strong><hr></blockquote>
I don't know. Zak Starkey sure can give Keith Moon a run for his money. You gotta see him in the Who and Friends DVD. The man is amazing
I wasn't really watching properly, I'll have to see that DVD
