Equipment has gotten better and talent much thinner... They dont produce Ginger Bakers and that sort of commitment to an instrument anymore. Its all about a drum machine and a mr microphone now. Although my 16 year old does play his guitar daily so maybe theres hope.
please i saw ginger many times no one came close to him i saw him vs billy cobham he sounded like 5 billy cobhams belive me glenn i loved the africa 70 as well bobby gass great spunds on guitar !!!!! check out bill bruford and neal smith as well !!!!
@Puregeniuscomedy mitchell could not maintain a beat very long and roedding had to carry him on most of the songs he was wilder than baker but baker was better
@flyingdrifter Billy Cobham is good, but not really my style. Buddy Miles kinda rubbed me up the wrong way with Hendrix. And Ringo... No, just no. He was perfect for the Beatles - Some of the best music ever and all, but the other drummers we have mentioned push him futher down the list
Attention Drummers/musicians!!! Get the book "realistic rock" by Carmine Appice!! If you like 60's-70's rock drumming it's the Bible. It turned my hopeless brother into a real rock guy. He would work on it every day and half way through the book and after learning the first Zeppelin record beat for beat he would go back to the jams and sound exactly like Simon Kirk of Free and Bad Company...with bonham fills to boot. It could save rock drumming im serious. Amazon.com
I get pretty sick of people saying that Moon is an amazing drummer. He's not. Nothing he does is impressive and very little of what he does is musical
@avaram10 Lol. John Bonham? Kids who play for 10 years can get chops like Bonham. Rich is a legend but Mitchell did things Fusion has never seen before. Listen to Manic Depression. Good luck trying to say That Jimi is Overated considering the world sees him as a god now.
@TheRobnificent I'm not tryin to put down the experience. they have good songs. and they are good musicians i just dont think they are the best. I consider chuck berry, hendrix, and van halen to be the guitar gods cause they rock forever. but musicians took waht hendrix did and made it better. like jimmy page. i think he is probably the greatest song writer in all of history. and one of the greatest lead guitarists. but the experince is good. its just my opinion that they arent the best.
@avaram10 What exactly makes Jimmy Page greatest songwriter? Guitarist, fine... but songwriter, I dunno, I mean, the majority of Zep's songs weren't even his.
@avaram10 what do you mean by musicians took what hendrix did and made it better? The field of sound engineering at that time was dominated by hunky noisy bassless recording and mixing hardware that sounds nothing like the mixes of 2011. Hendrix used his guitar without limitation, today, there's a lot of guitarists but they aren't capable of the forsight, skill, or personality of him.
@ramzevans Art is subjective, this is always a losing debate for both parties. I'm one of the biggest Hendrix fans on this planet and have picked over his playing for 3 decades now, and I agree with you largely but with some pretty valid exceptions. Joe Satriani for instance, in my own subjective opinion, is a better composer and better player technically, and was from the start. I wouldnt pick Vai even though I like him.
@ramzevans I am not talking about music now days cause most of it sucks. but bands like van halen and lots of hair bands took what hendrix did and refined it. quite frankly a lot of it sucks but almost all hard rock guitar originated from hendrix and page.

Hes far better than mitch mitchell - however the drum solo here was edited it seems plus he was expectedly on Heroin here. listen to him in cream or even the cream reunion. Baker is an amazing drummer
Naghh. Baker is one of the top 5 drummers in the world. Mitch Mitchell was not even the top 5 of the 60s. Hes a good drummer but nowhere near as technical as someone like Baker, or Bonham or Moon or even Steve Gadd
@jbawn I'm a huge Moon fan, but I've gotta tell you he is FAR from technical! He hit whatever drum he wanted, when he wanted, and it worked! THAT is why he's regarded as such an amazing drummer
@jbawn Im sorry but i simply must disagree with you. Not only was Mitch Mitchell a technically superior drummer, being experienced in the ways of jazz and applying these techniques to rock and roll, but he was also an insanely creative force behind jimi hendrix. His drumming was melodic and followed jimi's guitar well instead of just carrying on routinely. Yes bonham and Moon were good and technical, but the drummers lacked a sense of expression. This is what sets Mitch Mitchell apart
That solo sucked. where the fuck were the rudiments, he was just banging he didn't;even know what he was doing. sounded like fuck'en Keith moon just bangers not good drummers.
Rudiments! You mean those boring rules for soldiers in gray uniforms, stuff that you have to learn and then forget in order to be able to find your sound and play freely. Are you shure he didn't even know what he was doing? Do you know what he wanted to do? What he didn't want to do? What he should have done? Wow! You must be old, wise, educated and bored. Is your nane God? He(or She) is old, they say.
There are a lot of stupid comments in this thread.
Some young drummers must spend all day on youtube watching vids of technique monsters noodling in drum clinics or breaking speed records & think that's what drumming is all about...
Ginger baker has only modest technique compared with some modern drummers - but has fantastic musical feel and great creativity.
Many Cream songs are recognisable even if you only hear the drum riffs.
Most modern metal drummers sound the same -fast & boring.
i think every drummer like John Bonham, kieth Moon, and Ginger Baker, neil pert and Mitch Mitchell and many other drummers are very good and that they all have there own unique style and way of playing. that's my opinion I like theme all.
If anybody wants to add to my comment then feel free to do so.
@justjames14 Ginger Baker changed how we all play drums more then anyone realizes but you 100% right , you named most of the old natural drummers even though Ginger wrote and played his solos as a song he's still a natural ~have seen them all ,saying one is better is not right , they are as good as you get and each contributed to today's drummers . I started with Underground Surf , '68 hanging in NYC saw from the Filmore stage door 10Ft away Ginger playing blew me away.
i think ur all stupid. just shut up all you. some kind gentleman posted a link for the best russian women and its getting drowned out by your bickering. be nice.
what the first guy said is more than accurate I took drum lessons for 8 years...I loved ginger baker because I like rock...I had my drum teacher listen to it and he did with his drum sticks with ease what ginger did with base drum pedal and twice as clean...I still like GB but he cant hold a candle to buddy rich or especially joe morello...facts is facts

@dubberdo but honestly... you are entitled to your opinion and your allowed to not like Ginger.. but to say he is shit is incorrect. Your just another dummy on youtube who thinks hes better than everyone else because he can talk shit with a keyboard in front of him.

Just got my first drum kit so thought I'd check out a few drum solos to watch.... haha!! I was at this concert...........took rather a long time to get my kit!!
Well, lets put it in a positive light, Ginger influenced thousands of young aspiring musicians who never heard of or cared about Buddy Rich ET AL. His drumming was unique in his time ,no one came close to his stylistic approach, and his weaves of African rhythms into the rock genre was a first.
Never mind this pc was done in a 5/4 time signature which no rock drummer before or since ever heard of. I doubt Buddy Rich ever in all his two handed speed played in 5/4.
@GINGERBAKEROFFICIAL ummm... If your the real Ginger Baker.... well... hello :D and seen that your living in SA ill stick you for a round of drinks and want to listen to music
@chicabobica Theres 2 very important aspects that your missing about Ginger Baker.... 1) If you have lived in that era you would know about what music was around and understand hoe much GB has given to music... And 2) You'll see proof to another reason within 2 secs of this video.... PASSION
@Gitars5 how true that is. In the day, a double bass drum set with that kind of independence wasn't seen much, today, it is basic. His creativity and the use at the time is what set him apart from other drummers and gave him so much fame.
@justentime77 OK, I thought the drum solo on the studio version of the Blind Faith album was really good, and the video of Ginger playing Toady with the Airforce was really good. Evidently you know of better, so you'll have to help me out here.
too bad these times are gone, this era of rock n roll was groundbreaking, so was baker, his double bass was so awesome, still is amazing when i think that tommy aldridge was doing his same solo in 73 with black oak arkansas, what a generation, was a special moment in rock history
the 60's and 70's were the best years to be a drummer. There's no more freedom of expression like these guys had. Nobody has the patience anymore. Ginger is the man and I think a huge part of the decline in overall talent we see in musicians today is the lack of patience the audience has for what they're listening to.
Trust me, I've tried to do drum solos on stage and most people don't care.
@Schpinki I think the problem also has alot to do with the industry and the record companies not having patience or letting musicians be musicians... Like, imagine if you were a band today and tried putting a song like Moby Dick on your album. No record company would even let you do that because it would be "radio friendly" or whatever
@HookInMouth999 I couldn't agree more, but lets call it like it is, the recording industry is a leech on musicians and they want to produce ANYTHING that will make money, or will garner mass appeal. If stuff like Moby Dick was appreciated by the masses and not just an enlightened few I'm sure there'd be much more similar work.

Well, lets put it in a positive light, Ginger influenced thousands of young aspiring musicians who never heard of or cared about Buddy Rich ET AL. His drumming was unique in his time ,no one came close to his stylistic approach, and his weaves of African rhythms into the rock genre was a first.
Never mind this pc was done in a 5/4 time signature which no rock drummer before or since ever heard of. I doubt Buddy Rich ever in all his two handed speed played in 5/4.
Yea he was high, so was I...

@chicabobica Theres 2 very important aspects that your missing about Ginger Baker.... 1) If you have lived in that era you would know about what music was around and understand hoe much GB has given to music... And 2) You'll see proof to another reason within 2 secs of this video.... PASSION

@Gitars5 how true that is. In the day, a double bass drum set with that kind of independence wasn't seen much, today, it is basic. His creativity and the use at the time is what set him apart from other drummers and gave him so much fame.

too bad these times are gone, this era of rock n roll was groundbreaking, so was baker, his double bass was so awesome, still is amazing when i think that tommy aldridge was doing his same solo in 73 with black oak arkansas, what a generation, was a special moment in rock history

the 60's and 70's were the best years to be a drummer. There's no more freedom of expression like these guys had. Nobody has the patience anymore. Ginger is the man and I think a huge part of the decline in overall talent we see in musicians today is the lack of patience the audience has for what they're listening to.
Trust me, I've tried to do drum solos on stage and most people don't care.
Schpinki 1 year ago
@Schpinki I think the problem also has alot to do with the industry and the record companies not having patience or letting musicians be musicians... Like, imagine if you were a band today and tried putting a song like Moby Dick on your album. No record company would even let you do that because it would be "radio friendly" or whatever
HookInMouth999 1 year ago
@HookInMouth999 I couldn't agree more, but lets call it like it is, the recording industry is a leech on musicians and they want to produce ANYTHING that will make money, or will garner mass appeal. If stuff like Moby Dick was appreciated by the masses and not just an enlightened few I'm sure there'd be much more similar work.
