Hey, after 40 years, he COULD probably do this in his sleep! Man! Never ceases to amaze me how great drummers (or any drummers worth listening to) can keep all 4 extremities and their heads moving in so many different rhythms! Fascinating to watch and listen to again and again, just to hear the parts you missed the first time! Long live Ginger!!!!

When I was A kid , 15 years old drummer, I knew everything possible about Cream. I remember I knew - and still do for a large part- any single beat of toads solo from wheels of fire. This is the music people should know. Baker -as all the musicians- tells a story with its drum like a sax soprano would do. Only Cobham has been able to change the whole construction of the beats with the support of JL Ponty. From there on, is almost...the "nothing ".

Ginger Baker plays MUSIC on drums... something of a lost art unfortunately. This is the RAH DVD? I personally think the 10/26/05 MSG Toad solo was the best of the reunions. Simply mesmerizing. Even better is the clip of him playing at home on the Cream Classic Artists DVD, worth the price of the whole thing!

@ElectricMayhemFilms Granted, though this solo has come a long way. Ginger has learned so much over the past 40 years. This solo was a combination of his experiences in Africa with all of those crazy 6/8 tom patterns, improved jazz improvisation, and much improved chops and musicality. Imagine if Bonham had the chance to play Moby Dick now with an extra 30 years of experience.

i aint saying that one is better than the other, its just the styles are realy different. Bonham couldnt do the kind of multi-limbed conversation that Baker does, and is infact his signature. Its not a knock against Bonham, who was an amazing drummer, its a compliment to Baker that no one can imitate his style

Bonham isnt famous for being impossible to duplicate. He is famous for being such a good groover and yes, having a fantastic right foot. He knew what to do when. He couldnt syncopate like Baker did. As for volume, he was just a very strong guy with very big sticks and a very loud set. But as for the actual rythms he did, Jazz drummers were probably unimpressed even during the 70's

Ginger's performance is pretty solid in this, but a far cry from the 1968 performance in "Cream's Farewell Concert." Ginger is still one of the greatest rock drummers of today...he's actually more of a jazz drummer than a rock one IMO, but he just doesn't have the strength and endurance he had when he was 30.

Also, Ginger Baker may not be the god he once was due to his age, but he's still pretty fucking good...better than most other drummers out there. Even if he does play double-bass here, he masters it like nobody else's business...it is by no means cheap. how anyone could degrade a musician of Cream is beyond me unless they have no musical taste.

I would probably agree with rock drumming at its simplest form. However, John Bonham is an exception to this rule...name me one jazz drummer who has Bonham's sound or his right foot or his hand-drumming skills, or Ginger Baker's skill for the double bass. That said, a jazz drummer can do a lot more things than a rock drummer can. But rock drumming is harder than it looks folks...you have to be a drummer to understand this.
