Ginger Baker, wild and brilliant Cream drummer, dies aged 80

Post by tamada » October 6, 2019, 7:14 pm

Ginger Baker, one of the most brilliant, versatile and turbulent drummers in the history of British music, has died aged 80.

His family had previously made it public that he was critically ill and asked fans to “please keep him in your prayers”. His Facebook page said he “passed away peacefully” on Sunday morning.

No doubt about his ability, 30 minute + drum solo's not so good.
He's got his little y-fronts and he's got his little vest, Chaz Jankel, 1998. Mash it up Harry.

Have too agree, sometimes almost walking out after 20 minutes of his solo's. Great drummer though.

He was no Gene Krupa. RIP.
