How about "drum solo albums"? John French did "O Solo Drumbo," which is nothing but drums.
Michael Pluznick did "Heat Beat."
Max Roach did "Drums Unlimited" which includes three drum solo tracks.

My feelings too.
Trurl has a point - jazz/fusiondrummers are plenty regarding solo albums. They can write and lead a band, why cant the rockdrummers?
Not mentioned yet: Trilok Gurtu, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Goodwin, Michael Shrieve, Narada Michael Walden, Hasse Bruniusson, Lenny White...
How about Pierre Moerlens Gong? and many of Toshida Tatsuya's albums.

Yeah, but without them, we might not have much of a thread.
Gurtu has a lot of good stuff. DeJohnette is hit and miss. I like his piano album. Moerlen's compositions are kind of weak, imo.
Chico Hamilton, who left us recently, has a huge body of work. Lots of great stuff, and a little bit of cheese here and there.
Mickey Hart has a bunch of cd's under his name.

I used to have it. All I remember about it was this tune; I think it was the first track on the album:
Anybody else thinking that this thread isn't exactly going where Rufus hoped it would?
Boom-tish!
That I'd like to hear.
I don't think I've seen Bruford mentioned. One of a Kind is a monster album.
That would be absurd! But he was mentioned in post #1.
Without jazz/jazz-rock you might as well not bother, yes!
I dug out the follow-up 'Turn It Over' upon hearing of Jack Bruce's death. That has some of the most fearsome, aggressive music of the era IMHO- vocal numbers aside, it's fabulous stuff.
Billy Cobham's 'Spectrum' is widely recognised as a classic.
Maybe they can!!!
Drumming demi-gods Carmine & Vinny Appice have both had extraordinary careers behind the drum kit, beginning with Carmine’s tenure in such legendary classic rock bands as Vanilla Fudge and Cactus as well as supporting stints with Rod Stewart and Ozzy Osbourne. Meanwhile, younger brother Vinny made his name as a metal drummer for monster acts such as Dio, Black Sabbath and Heaven & Hell. Recently, these two virtuosos have been wowing audiences with their own rock show called “Drum Wars,” featuring not only the hits of their associated bands but also a thrilling series of solos that pit them against each other like the Gene Krupa/Buddy Rich drum battles of yore. Fortunately for us mere mortals, this unique concert experience was recorded in June of this year at the Iridium in New York and is now available on CD courtesy of Deadline Music and Rocker Records.

I didn't write that rockdrummers cant play, they are just rarely bandleaders or composers.
.
On the contrary, there is lots of great great rockdrummers i love !
Bobby Caldwell, Ian Paice, Bonham, Hiseman, Mitchell, Moon, Jerry Edmonton !, Bozzio, Bruford, Moerlen, Toshida, Keiichi Nagase, Carl Palmer, the list is endless...
True that! I used to have it on vinyl; I need to restock it on CD, as I did with "Emergency!"
Speaking of the (cough) vocals, that was the first time I ever heard Jobim's "Once I Loved." It wasn't until a couple of years later that I discovered it's supposed to be a slow, pretty samba/bossa.
^^^ yeah I know what you meant
I know John Hiseman made a couple of solo albums though I think one was 'live' so dosn't really count. I'm not a fan of jazz & fusion but for some reason I always warmed to Colloseum so maybe I should give Hiseman's albums a try?
^Yeah, I can just about put up with the 'singing' on 'Emergency!' because there's so much more happening, but on the follow-up he dropped out most of the music to showcase it! At least it's only a couple of tracks.
'Vuelta Abajo' on that album is a contender for my favourite jazz-rock track. Just jaw-dropping, red-hot stuff.
I've not heard Jon Hiseman solo albums per se. He did several with Barbara Thompson, his wife, in the band 'Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia'. I have a couple of these- pretty good stuff.

Guess I need to take off my blindfolds.
To be perfectly honest, a whole album of drum solos is a bit of a chore to listen to.
I think it's more of a curiosity to me rather thinking it would become one of my favorite recordings. I had an old 8 track tape back in the 70's that I remember had mostly drums on it. I found it in a cut out bin at a store that sold stereo equipment and cut out recordings. I couldn't tell you who it was or what it was anymore but it was interesting to listen to.
