    Mick Tucker was the greatest rock drummer that the UK and the world never truly recognised.., he was, and is .., A Legend! Ballroom Blitz..., an incredible piece of drumming., and then some.., Into The Night., Sweet F.A., Solid Gold Brass..., Just a Superb piece of drumming, every track!.., and then some.., Midnight To Daylight.., and in my humble opinion..., one of the greatest recorded rock jams ever.., the brilliant 'Keep It In' from the 'Give Us A Wink' album from 1976.., absolutely incredible drumming!! I was fortunate enough to accidently bump into Mick in Debenhams in Harrow in 1982.., I had nothing for him to sign for me as it was purely an accidental meet.., but he shook my hand as I told him that I was a life-long Sweet fan, and that he was the main reason as to why I became a drummer., x
    R.I.P Mick..., you, (& Cozy) were and always will be the one and only reason as to why I too became a drummer at an early age.., still am, and I'm way passed 60 now!! .., ;) xx

      Мне 61 год и я тоже барабанщик. Mick Tucker и группа Sweet - это мои кумиры. Основа музыкального исполнения группы держалась всегда на ударных, во главе которых был великолепный Mick!!!

    I first heard Micks drumming when I was ten years old in 1973. The Sweet song " Blockbuster" had just shot to No1, no easy feat when a band had to sell a million 7inch single records in under a fortnight to reach even the top 3 in the charts. The only other drummer at the time that blew my mind was Kevin Godley of 10cc, this shows how great Mick Tucker sounded to me back in those days. Just listen to his opening snare work on " Ballroom Blitz " absolutely world class and completely original. R.I.P.

    It’s so good to see this today. I’ve had a rough couple of days with a virus, I come back to UA-cam and see this straight away, it’s fantastic. The ins and outs of how a band comes together is fascinating. The thing that sticks with me is watching these guys in a documentary sounding like regular tradies, really down to earth. They understood theatre as well as music. This is brilliant!❤️

    If he'd had hooked up with one of the big rock bands like iron maiden or black Sabbath he'd have been rated much higher and got the recognition he rightly deserved, amazing drummer who I never tire of listening to

    I think I read somewhere that a poll was taken every year and Mick Tucker was voted the best drummer in the U.K. almost every year in the 1970's, beating out the likes of Ringo Starr, John Bonham and Keith Moon.

      Carl palmer also recieved quite few trophies in the 70's for his drumming. Mick Tucker was also up there with the best drummers & quite rightly so. Ive recently been looking at the box set of the Sweet at Musik Laden, ! Mick had some awesome grooves going on & was a beast of a drummer.
