    I was a spectator at a Guitar Center Drum Off competition held in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. I saw Sonny Emory tearing it up back then as a young 19 year old contestant. In fact, he won the event that day. Nice to see Sonny is still killing it many years later. Just a phenomenal drummer.

    I wouldn't say that this is the greatest drum solo of all time. This is most definitely a brilliant display of drumming technique without a doubt. For a "best" you need context! This show just doesn't have that perfect storm of circumstances that you would need to have a "best" label slapped on it.

    ⁠@@wigstretchWeckl is the king of the 3 with Latin. My drum teacher is like so pro Vinny over anybody. He doesn’t really I think anyone can touch Vinny or Dennis. Dennis played so amazingly with P Funk at such a young age and picked up so much from Tony, Billy, Diamond from Ohio Players, and Buddy Rich before he was even in P Funk and then went onto DESTROY those grooves. Dave for me takes the cake with Latin over Vinny. Everybody seems to disregard Steve Smith as well. He came out of that same school as a Weckl and Vinnie. He was at Berklee with Vinnie. Steve plays Buddy Rich snare drum chops while doing drum tricks better than all of them in my opinion. Vinny is like a God of course when it comes to his left hand and grooving but they ALL took from GADD. He was one kind of drummer and then heard Idris Muhammad, David Garibaldi and Airto as well as Chick Corea’s approach to drums and then rewrote what was being played… Sonny though? My god, criminally underrated just like Virgil.

    Man you ran down the whole crew of great drummers. I love all of them with their own unique styles. Steve Smith is incredible and sort of forgotten about. I used to play weddings with Chuck Bergeron, who also was playing with the Buddy Rich big band on occasion. I went to see a tribute to Buddy Rich, and to see Chuck;. They featured Gadd, Colaiuta and Weckl together. Out of the three , they let Gadd start the groove. Nobody lays it down like Gadd. It set the stage for those three great players to show their stuff. Morello, Bellson and a number of others performed as well. This was back in the 80"s.@@williamperri3437

I've got no pre conceived thoughts about this man's drumming, but as this plays in silence, I can't believe what his hands and body are doing at the same time! This is a superior display of what the brain can process at tremendous speed, accuracy, impact and musically expressive emotion, with the benefit of an exquisitely developed body capable far beyond his peers and predecessors. I'm looking forward to watching this on the big screen with the sound system ON, later today.

    YES! I would say that about all instruments, in general. Music isn't about "I'm better than you are". Music is emotion, art and expression (delivery) wrapped into fluid movements of sound. There is no end to the what can be created. Comparing musicians to each other on "who is better" misses the point of music.

    Its so great to see Mr Emory still going strong. I got to sit just a few feet from him at a Drum Clinic he gave for the students of a local drum teacher I was learning from when I was just starting out at age 13. It was the first time my mind was blown and I kept on playing drums and now i'm a professional, working for a church, several bands and as a teacher. This is a really great video with excellent sound!

    People forget that drumming is about technique timing and skill, nobody paints the same way. Call it difference if you may not best, best has nothing to with it. From Sonny Emory to Neil Peart to Buddy Rich each present technique timing and skill. When that's achieved consider yourself "accomplished" and perhaps ONE of the best!! Sonny Emory can stand tall.

    Always gotta have someone making negative judgements. If Mr. Kizola thinks that this is the best that he has ever heard, perhaps you add upon his praises of Sonny? Why not simply say that if "Rovie liked this solo" then he would probably also like some other drum solo that you hold in the "HIGHEST of REGARDS" (so he can grow) ??

His nuances, and the moods he creates, his sense of rhythm, timing, showmanship, his ability to move flawlessly to any style of music all done effortlessly, so it would seem. I know better.

    This solo is actually musical, AND has a progression to it.... unlike a lot of drum solos with a randomness to them. So it's on par for one of the best in my opinion. One could argue and say that the song itself lends itself to a progressive drum solo, but then again if you listen, he does progress on his own too, even when the music doesn't change.
