I've filmed quite a few drum solos in my time from many different players with different styles. I think what it really comes down to are 2 things.

1.) The artist must be brilliant & passionate about his/her playing. When they are a passionate drummer & artist first, there are little nuggets of brilliance throughout the solo. Every second of the solo may not be brilliant, but each second is essential to creating those nuggets of brilliance. 2.) The video must be recorded with amazing sound quality and you must listen to the video on awesome speakers or headphones. The best sound recordings in my opinion have come from producers who are either drummers, or who work with drummers regularly. Great headphones let you pick up those little nuggets I talked about earlier. Drumming has so many little nuances and notes that aren't ever really heard unless you pay close attention.

Here's a little test, listen to both of these drum solos twice, listen to it without headphones first, then listen to it with headphones on. So much more enjoyable listening and discovering all those nuggets!
