Carl Palmer Solo

The art film The Solo (directed by acclaimed art-filmmaker Andrew Cross), a 35-minute movie that portrays the drum solo as a work of physical art, and features Palmer behind his drum kit. "The film is not a Carl Palmer drum solo, as one might expect," says Palmer. "It explores how the drum kit and the person playing it can connect to create a live example of art."

This experimental film from progressive musician Carl Palmer combines five drum sequences with artistic cinematic elements from artist Andrew Cross to explore the percussive, tactical, and visual aspects of the art form.
