@mefortune1 Pretty ignorant statement. As a jazz drummer who just turned 51 and who teaches 20 students a week I realized that I better start learning double bass otherwise I'll be turning away some very talented potential students. So I'm now a 51 year old student of double bass drumming with myself as the teacher. Shit's not easy man!
I think Baker was always overrated by rockers, but underrated by jazz fans, They each have very distinctive styles and I don't think there is a winner here. The thing I love is looking at Baker's face when Blakey is playing...Baker is clearly digging Blakey's playing.

Absolutely the best and most animated I've ever heard/seen Ginger play. The drugs must have either been REALLY good...or not available!

Ginger Baker was only the audience favorite because he had more drums.
