Drum solos aren’t just a chance to show off—they’re an opportunity to say something. In this episode, we explore how to turn your solos into musical stories that grab attention, build emotion, and leave an impact.


We’ll dive into:

How to structure a solo with a clear beginning, middle, and end
Using dynamics, space, and contrast to create drama and narrative
The difference between technical chops and emotional expression
How to "converse" with the audience—and the band—through your soloing
