The recent Screening of Cream at the Albert Hall opened my eyes to Ginger Bakers brilliance behind the behind the drums.
He plays a typical 70's style 20 minute solo, keeping perfect time, going all round the kit, without looking like he's trying or breaking into a sweat.
This prompted me to reach for Led Zep's The Song Remains the Same to listen to Bonzo's solo on Moby Dick.
Now I always held this bit of skin bashing to be one of the best, but on further listening its not a patch on Ginger. The timing is all over the place, speeding up & slowing down.
So who is your favourite?
Phil "Philthy" Taylor
Lars Ullrich
Bill Ward
Phil Collins
