Ginger is my personal favorite, but i cant decide whos the best between Ginger,Bonham,Moon, and John Densmore.

keith was a show-off, dont get me wrong he was still good and has left his mark on rock drumming however i personally believe that ginger has more depth to his drumming, more complex use of rudiments and polrythms and also his use of dynamics that would add more feeling into his drumming. keith was charismatic on the drums and could just go absolutely insane to entertain people...and show off of course.

That was Tony Palmer, who concentrated on the faces, even the nostrils... Maybe Palmer was the Godfather of the music videos: cut, zoom in, zoom out (after 2 seconds!) , cut, zooom...That's why I like the bootleg of Cream at MSG 2005 better than the official RAH DVD, you see the band, the interaction, even between the songs. But of course it is better to be there and see them live - if you have a good seat, and not way back in row 30...

comparing ginger to ringo is like comparing led zeppelin to brittney spears. ginger's infinitely better

I think Mitchel Mitchell single handedly introduced jazz drumming to rock. he actually invented fusion drumming

Ringo was the ultimate timekeeper, while Ginger was the ultimate innovator!

Ginger *was* an influence on Neil. In his instructional DVD, "Anatomy of a Drum Solo", Neil Peart discusses growing up listening to all of the various drummers who influenced him. Ginger Baker's solo from "Toad" was a big one.
