See Why Ginger Baker (RIP) Was One of the Greatest Drummers in Rock & World Music When talk of classic rock drummers turns to Keith Moon and John Bonham, I smile and nod. What’s the point in arguing? They were both, in their distinctive ways, incredible—and in their early deaths, immortal legends. Who knows what their careers would have looked like had either lived past 32? But truly, for the all-around breadth of his influence, for the amount of respect he gained in musical circles around the world, no greater classic rock drummer ever lived, in my opinion, than Ginger Baker, may he finally rest in peace. The famously restless, violently cantankerous drummer died yesterday at age 80, outliving most of his peers, despite living twice as hard for well over twice as long as many of them—a feat of strength we might impute to his athletic physical stamina and frightening will. Like Moon and Bonham, he combined raw power with serious jazz chops. Baker traveled the continent with Fela Kuti to learn its rhythms, recording live with Kuti's band in '71. Related Content:
