Anderton Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 My father was a jazz drummer, and a damn good one. He had disdain for most rock drummers - except when I turned him on to Ginger Baker. Dad thought he was amazingly innovative, musical, and precise, and I couldn't agree more. Even though I'm not a drummer, he was a huge influence on me for other instruments, and well as for "assembling" drum parts from acoustic drum loops and electronic drums. His reliance on toms, and super-sparing use of cymbals, was part of his signature sound. Listening to him also taught me a lot about bass. That may not make sense to most people, but when you listen to how he played the toms... I never got to meet him, only Jack Bruce. Maybe that's just as well; he had a reputation of being pretty volatile. Maybe it's best just to remember his incredible drumming skills. Wasn't anyone like him at the time, and hasn't been anyone like him since.

rod76 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I bought a drum that day. Someone who I had left a message for an old Rogers kit over 2 months ago called and asked if I was still interested. Not sure if Ginger's passing had anything to do with it.... maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
