Yes indeed, Bev was made for ELO without a doubt. I love the thundering sound on hi's toms on "Fire On High" And "Evil Woman." He had a low thundering sound that blended well with their style of music.

Exactly why Lynne went to drum machines on parts of ELO's last two albums in the 1980s is beyond me. Bevan is one of the leading drummers in rock and Lynne decides to use drum machines. Boy did he lose his way.

At the ~35 sec. mark, there's a shot of a drummer who resembles Charles Bronson!

Ehhh i dont know. Not to be "hatin" Bev is a good drummer for sure, but he lucked out being friends with one of the best songwriters/producers of the 20th century. He never struck me as THAT interesting of a player, although I definitely enjoyed some of the things he did. I completely disagree about the drum machine stuff, I think "Time" is in the top 2/3 elo records and going that route is part of the reason why the later stuff still sounds so fresh and modern.

Bevan was severely limited by Lynne. Exemplified by his technical work on the ELO live albums such as Night the Light Went On and Winterland. Bevan will never be lauded as one of the best ever as he probably should be, but there wasn't enough space for him to get technical. It seems that Richard Tandy and Kelly Groucutt got more space for technicality than Bev. Jeff himself probably could've been considered a greater guitarist.

@lawrev Yes, sharing instruments with other people is ALWAYS the best choice
no matter how good drummist you are ( for example). I think Jeff Lynne made that
mistake in Zoom album.

No, it was Bevan who lost his way not Lynne.
