Ginger Baker: 10 Tracks That Show His Drumming Genius

, one of his close late-period collaborators. Here are 10 tracks that illustrate his extraordinary range — and still only begin to hint at the depth and breadth of his musical world.Cream, “Toad”

Before “Moby Dick,” “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” or Ringo Starr’s feature on “The End,” there was “Toad,” the last track on Cream’s debut,and a performance that set a new benchmark for the rock drum solos. Bookended by a brief bluesy riff, the track plays like a catalog of Baker’s strengths, from stylish snare and tom-tom rolls to rapid-fire double-kick barrage and nimble uptempo bebop.

chompie97 I wish I still had my Cream vinyl ♥️

I am listening to Toad right now.

He was indeed a legend. I was 16 years old when I saw him in concert (along with Deep Purple) in San Diego in 1968. I absolutely loved 'TOAD'. I will never forget how stoned we got at that concert...just from all the smoke in the Arena. RIP Ginger Baker. (Oct 6, 2019)
