Most of the drummers on here are damn good, but none of them seem to think melodically when playing a solo. Some are just going through some execercises at speed. The guy (Derek Roddy?) was awesome, with some excellent work on two bass (or kick) drums - just lost the tunefulness.

I like Cozy Powell's work because it is more melodic.
