Personally I'm not normally a fan of drumming. I've only seen one or two solos over the years that I actually enjoyed (Neil Peart springs to mind) but I'd be interested to see what Iris would bring to it.
Didn't Emil Hachfeld have a bit of a solo spot at the start of the 1997 tour?
On the flip side, I think there should be 1 or 2 numbers where she sits out...takes a breather.
In an ideal scenario, Iris would be sat behind a regular kit as apposed to the mass of percussion instuments she sports at the moment, so many of TD's tracks deserve a good regular kit without having so much "decorative" percussion layered over pre-recorded drum tracks, IMHO of course...I wonder, can she play a regular drum arrangement??
