Any good ideas on how to start out a drum solo?

ive been drumming awhile and have done some drum solos in my day and they always turn out good, but i always seem to have trouble thinking of a way to start it off, any good ideas?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm not a drummer but I'm studying with a man who has played the blues on guitar with just about every famous bluesman and woman you could name. His best advice to me was to hit the first note and phrase crisp, accurate, confident and hard. Then you're in the groove.
