      He was a very special musician. I don't know how much his irascible nature was an act, or real, but he was unmatched at his craft.

    Ginger was without doubt the greatest drummer I ever saw play live. The complex rhythmic patterns he’d lay down during ‘Toad’ solos that gradually built in intensity were mesmerising to witness. One third of the finest instrumental band in rock history, Ginger is a total legend! ❤

    A poster man for the saying "If I had known I was gonna live this long I would have taken better care of myself."
    It's fun to here the natural "bong" when he plays. I'm a 70s drummer where the fashion was hydraulic heads, top and bottom head suppressors, pillow in the kick drum, always looking for the deep "thud." Then again we couldn't afford the full maple drums so we had to tweak.. And he mics his cymbals for natural resonance. We always mic them from the top to get a brighter, faster, shorter crash.
    Funny to think we bought the natural kit and then used every trick to make them sound different than they were designed.
    These days I've learned to make them sound the way I want by technique. Oh, and it helps to play lightly and not use logs for drumsticks.

    So impressive to see Ginger Baker still playing. He can do things at his age that drummers half his age can't. I remember 'TNUC' and 'Sweet Wine' from the Cream live album..or how about the 'Toad' drum solo? Classic Ginger Baker to be sure. The guy is one of the all time greats and got me to try double-bass drumming (a poor attempt compared to Ginger, to be sure)
