Thread: Drum solo

Hi all! I'm looking for a short song for a drum solo and I was going to go through the suggestions off of the thread "new music" but I can't find it. So I went to Borders and bought Turbo Tabla which is not my cup of tea. I prefer strong drums if that makes any sense. Can you all suggest cds that you like?

I recently got Said El Artist - Spectacular Rhythms. LOVE it!!!

I think Hossam Ramzay has a cd called "Sabla Tolo" which is good. There are a couple of great drum solos on Ya Bahaia. Also, Issam's CD "The Dancing Drum" has three tabla solos on it.

Sorry I cant be of more help with actual CDs - I tend to collect songs/tracks rather than cDs, and often the drum solos are just called "drum solo". Frustrating.

I wish I could share my music library with everyone!

There's a nice not too long drum solo on "The Soul of Cairo" brand new CD:
#8 track "Ah Ya Tabla"(3:06 minutes).

yes, sabla tolo and sabla tolo 2 are awesome! lots of variations on standard beats and some stuff that is sure to make you think. definitely has "strong drums" on many tracks.

Do you think it's okay if I performed to a 2:57 song than a drum solo around 3min or so? I'm perfoming at a show a fellow Belly Dancer is producing.

Check out "Nagua's Tabla",on Jalilah's Raks Sharki 2 Amar 14
Another nice 3 minute drum solo.

Thanks all

for strong drums, try Raquy and the Cavemen. They have two short drum solos (they're both available on iTunes).

Hi Everyone
I went with Spectacular Rythms by Said el Artist for now. Thanks for helping me spend $$ wisely by adding to my cd collection
