Too right man, a drum solo would be kickass. SteevStix
Ahh sure if you're not too comfortable with fills yet just stick to the straight forward rythm. But, if you have a couple of songs you can have some fun with and do fills on that's good, so at least you're building youself up.
Our old drummer would experiment a lot with fills during rehearsals, but then as we played live he'd hold back a lot and it was kind of annoying because we knew he was capable of it, and we'd go into the gigs ready to give it socks, but without the drums it made us have to tone back.
