When a drummer (or any instrument in the band for that matter) is soloing, there is less frequency bandwidth needed to capture the recording. It is my understanding that when a song is pressed to vinyl, the cutter will widen and narrow it's grooves as it cuts according to the soundwave's requirements. So if you see a differently grooved area of a song on a record, it might not be a break, but it will be something that will sound different from the rest of the song.
It's a good technique to use, but not a rule to live by. Some breaks aren't nearly long enough to even make a visual difference in the vinyl, you don't want to lose out on some of those.
