Almost every drum machine solo on Squarepusher's "Big Loada" makes me wanna spazz .

― Gage-o, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Blue Monday. Also the System have great drum machine patterns but not 'solos' as such

'Spaced Cowboy' - Sly and the Family Stone = yodeltechno.

― Andrew L, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The beginning of 808state's "Techno Bell" on their 1991 album "Ex:EL".

― Yves, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If a drum machine solo = the part of the song that would normally be occupied by the guitar or keyboard solo, then there is only one candidate surely for this accolade - that 'played' by Doktor Avalanche in the middle of the original, 1983, "Temple of Love" by the Sisters of Mercy !

― Darren, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

... not to mention New Order's "Perfect Pit", which comprises of nowt but the drum machine parts of the godlike "The Perfect Kiss" !

― Darren, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cabaret Voltaire - Nag Nag Nag. That little "diddle-diddle doodle-doodle" thing.

the intro of "Sketch for summer"

wierd,i've obviously heard loads of drum machine solos,and no doubt many of favourite songs feature them,but when i saw the thread title,the first thing i thought of was the same as jeff,the one on the stop making sense version of psycho killer...

― robin, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Does "Jazzy Sensation" have a drum solo in it?

― J Blount, Thursday, 25 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't believe no-one's mentioned Plastikman's Sickness before...

― JoB, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The 808 on Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing."

― richie, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Blue Monday is the easy answer. Otherwise their are some classic TMBG drum machine solos.

― Mr Noodles, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Girl/Boy Song is entirely a drum machine solo, but theres a part where all the other things stop and the drum goes wild solo, its grate

― Chupa-Cabras, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The beginning of Ultravox' "Hiroshima Mon Amour". Or "Beat Box" by Art of Noise.

I was following right up until the bit where he started to play three drums at the same time...

― snoball, Monday, 2 February 2009 12:21 (seventeen years ago)

He's awesome.

prince, 'play in the sunshine'

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 2 February 2009 15:13 (seventeen years ago)

surprised no one mentioned Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" -- not nuts about the song, but the solo is kind of astonishing.

― sw00ds, Monday, 2 February 2009 15:47 (seventeen years ago)

DJ Shadow - Building Steam With A Grain of Salt

Is that one?

― davek_00, Monday, 2 February 2009 16:19 (seventeen years ago)

^^^

― autosocratic asphyxiation (Hurting 2), Monday, 2 February 2009 16:32 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, "Rhythm Nation" definitely, and too and all, but "Machine Gun"

― The Reverend (rev), Monday, 2 February 2009 21:02 (seventeen years ago)

Second vote for "Dance On", that tune sounds like it invented drill'n'bass years before the fact.

― Tuomas, Monday, 2 February 2009 21:08 (seventeen years ago)

Though I've always thought at least some of the percussions on that tune were played by Sheila E.

― Tuomas, Monday, 2 February 2009 21:11 (seventeen years ago)

Dick Hymnan, "The Minotaur"

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Monday, 2 February 2009 21:13 (seventeen years ago)

sheila plays it pretty spot on in this bootleg dvd i have. but he was programming similar sounding stuff on 777-9311 in '82.

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 2 February 2009 22:01 (seventeen years ago)

it seems like we should be making a distinction between chopped breaks and drum machine solos.

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 2 February 2009 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

Scary fusion guy..

― MaresNest, Monday, 2 February 2009 22:06 (seventeen years ago)

^^^way better than the wacky japanese dude. jel does some crazy stuff too:

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 2 February 2009 22:15 (seventeen years ago)

That CREATIVE guy is definitely not Japanese, his accent sounds Chinese via Malay or Singapore imo.
