Are there any songs being authored with drum solos?

[NoThru22]

Are there any individuals or charting groups working on songs with drum solos? If there are, I will add them to my drum solo thread as a preview (plus I'd really like to know for my own gratification.)

In one of RA's previews, a song by Terrorhorse had a drum solo. It was basically a red roll, but it was charted as a drum solo.

[Perdition-PSL]

I put a drum solo in one of my songs, but its really just a snare roll that lasts 2 minutes, it varies pattern and gets more complex as it progresses. But not sure if it should remain a solo or not.

[NoThru22]

Well let me know if you release it as a drum solo. Are you two talking about the same song?

[HMXEnosity]

A couple songs I can think of off hand that have drum solos in RBN.

DNA's Evolution - The Heist
Full-Source - Up Stem (Down Stem)

[NoThru22]

Thank you!

No. The Terrorhorse drum solo (http://www.rhythmauthors.com/song_preview.php?id=1) is about ten seconds long.

[Lizard_King]

depending on the way Rhythm Authors does it, my song "For the Strange", should have an ending drum solo.

check it out: For The Strange (http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8001023)

Added.

[NoThru22]

Squeezebox - Rude Awakening has been added to the main thread.

[wesjett08]

'Not My Fault' by Ultra Saturday will have one,Albeit a short one.

Edit : Maybe

[NoThru22]

Just wanted to see if any of the new authors are working songs with drum solos so I can add them to my list.

[S1ckH4nds]

Missed this thread the first time around. Children of Nova's "The Complexity of Light" will have at least one drum solo section in it.

[NoThru22]

Excellent, thanks S1ck!

[NoThru22]

Added a new section to the original thread with approved songs to which I also added Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Footloose and Fancy Free.

Re-added Ultra Saturday - Not My Fault to the possible list.

Ah, two more for ya, NoThru22.

RED9's "Last Mistake" and Flogging Molly's "Drunken Lullabies (Live)" both have drum solos. Unfortunately we weren't able to capture a bit of the drum solo for Last Mistake, but you can see a bit of the solo for Lullabies in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuworNgCNVc).

[NoThru22]

Thanks S1ck! Adding now!

[Mickstafa]

You can add Bill Bruford's Earthworks' "Footloose and Fancy Free"

[NoThru22]

It's already under the approved songs section of the original thread. Thanks!

[NoThru22]

I found that one of the approved Main Drag songs has a drum solo and added it to the list: "Don't Let Me Down (Slowly)"

Anyone else have any drum solo news?

[davidshek]

It's not in RBN yet, but a little birdie told me that the newest-recorded Wounded Soul song starts with a little drum solo ;)

[NoThru22]

How the hell would you know? Get the hell out of here!

[Mickstafa]

Oh, and you can remove the "(song has been taken down for unknown reason)" on the Bruford track

[Cleantone]

The Slip's "Children of December" has a drum solo!

[NoThru22]

Thanks Mick! Thanks Cleantone!

[NoThru22]

Anybody working on new songs with drum solos? Anything in playtesting?

[Deeznutzs27]

Someone may want to give "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind a run through on drums, played it last night on guitar and it definatly has an outro extended drum solo just not sure if it is charted as one.

[smeeguel]

Here's the badass drum solo intro to "The Complexity of Light" by Children of Nova:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0qOFqThOKk

[NoThru22]

So am I correct to assume that after we got so many awesome drum solos at the launch of the service, none of the new songs have had any drum solos? How about the songs in playtest or being authored right now?

EDIT: MagicMurderBag7 was kind enough to point out that I Know What I Am by Band of Skulls has a (very short) drum solo.

[RedRockCharters]

Hello there! I know it's been a while and I'm not sure if any one checks this any more, but we just authored a drum solo! It's in the song "You're an Egg! (Evolution)" by Windtunnel Syndrome. It's in Playtest now, hoping to get it up for sale soon!

[NoThru22]

I already have it in the potential RBN songs list but thanks for posting! http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141162

[NoThru22]

The Main Drag - Swine Houses has been added to the last but the version up now is missing an activation on drums at the end.

[GreatJedi7]

Save Us by As The Sin Fades: Not released yet, but will be authored with a roughly 20 second drum solo in the beginning.

[S1ckH4nds]

Might as well make this announcement here, since I know you do so love your drum solos...

It hasn't yet been uploaded for playtesting, but "Hot Stuff" by Scott Attrill (which is going into playtest this week) will have two drum solos (an intro and an outro). This is an interesting case as the song is fully electronic and an instrumental hard trance/techno piece, so in both cases you're essentially playing the drum machine beats that a DJ would use for mixing from one record to the next.

[a_bull_on_parade]

The Dandy Warhol's "Bohemian Like You" has a drum solo intro.

Whaaaaaaaaaat? I never said any such thing! :D

Then why do you play all that bass and no drums? Bleh!

Cause he's good on bass.

Very good, actually.

[NoThru22]

A good ole bumpity bump for any of the track authors (or testers) on here.

[FairwoodStudios]

Burn Her Out by Shokkher presently has a solo. (The pattern it represents repeats, though, so people may argue against it.)

[NoThru22]

I am not sure what even constitutes having a drum solo in the game. Precedent is nothing to go by, seeing as how there are plenty of songs where the drum is doing fills on it's own and there is no solo, it's doing fills over music but it's a solo, it's doing the same pattern but no instruments so it's a solo, or sometimes not, and so on.

[Metal_Freak219]

'Push Push (Lady Lightning)' by Bang Camaro has a drum solo at the end, I don't know if you already know that or not, But just letting you know that i've that song and played it on drums and it has a outro drum solo.

It's pretty loose. Same with guitar solos sometimes, I've played bits that I felt should've been solos but other testers disagreed. Burn Her Out, the solo is a drum intro that's slightly more involved than when the pattern re-appears throughout the song. But it's still working through the system, there's chances for it to change.

The link in the first post has a list of known drum solos, which that song is on, but thanks!

[Fragory123]

"Africa" by Quartered starts with a huge drum solo. It lasts forever.

Okay man, no bother. If I know any other songs that have a drum solo in them i'll let you know on here, Hopefully some drum solos are included in some songs.

[NoThru22]

Found a drum solo in I Wanna Be An Alien's Pet and put it in the original thread.

[NoThru22]

Boo to Fairwood for caving into the pressure and taking the solo out of the Shokkher song!

Any other new songs being authored with solos?

[GurnKiller]

"Arcaedion" by Children of Nova will have a drum solo as can be seen in the preview video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8JyKJS7W7Q

I know :( But if we have to do it for it to pass, then we have to do it.

Upside is, Dying Wish of a Living Man has been given a solo, and it's unique enough that I don't see any complaints. And depending on the new arrangement, which we should be getting soon, Vaticinium Ex Eventu should have a drum solo. Might even be a combined drum/guitar solo, we'll see.

[NoThru22]

Who are the artists for the songs that you mentioned? Shokkher?

Dying Wish is by Yesternight's Decision.

I'm giving this thread a good ol' bump to remind authors to dish on their upcoming songs with drum solos! My list of RBN songs with pro drums AND drum solos is lonely!

I know there's got to be some songs coming up that have solos! Authors chime in!!!

I recommend "Last Suppit (http://www.rockband.com/songs/UGC_5005332)" by the funk super group Lettuce (http://www.royalfamilyrecords.com/lettuce)

The drummer is Adam Deitch (http://www.royalfamilyrecords.com/adamdeitch) There is a LONG solo towards the end of the song. I cannot wait to see who (if anyone) can FC it). Let me know!!

Here is the YouTube Preview (http://bit.ly/gq2gVI)

Yes "pro drums" are authored. I was so disappointed to learn that we cannot use RB3 audition mode for older songs. I planned on redoing our whole catalog.
