An astonishing musician responsible for some of the most iconic songs in popular music. I count myself so lucky to have been able to see him play live a few times, with his Jazz Confusion band and at a Jack Bruce Tribute Evening, and each time he absolutely blew me away. Toad is quite simply the best drum solo, from a musical point of view, he composes music on the drums and was one of the first to really incorporate African rhythms into popular music.

RIP
Baker, Bonham, Moon and Powell. All gone.

And Mitch Mitchell. I listened to those Hendrix albums as much for the drumming. It was like a joust of solos between drums and distorted guitar.

Ginger really had a good innings. RIP.

I always think playing drums must be a bloody sight harder than just about any other instrument.

It would keep you fit.
