Ginger Baker

The famously contentious drummer said he only liked about "five percent" of Led Zeppelin's catalog.

Neil Peart and Ginger Baker have made it to the second round of our March Drum Madness bracket.

The opening round of our new March Drum Madness competition is a contrast in styles, with AC/DC’s Phil Rudd taking on Cream’s Ginger Baker.

Ginger Baker's golden years aren't what he thought they'd be.

Ginger Baker recently told a reporter, among other things, that the Rolling Stones are "not good musicians." He also had some disparaging words to say about fellow classic rockers the Who and Bob Dylan.

It's no secret that former Cream drummer Ginger Baker isn't a very pleasant man to be around. In fact, there's a whole documentary, 'Beware of Mr. Baker,' about his difficult behavior. A U.K. music writer recently became the target of Baker's ire during a public Q&A session.

He's indisputably one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock and roll, but Ginger Baker didn't always see himself behind a kit -- in fact, as he revealed during a recent interview, he originally dreamed of being a professional cyclist.

Cream have become the latest classic rock act to announce that they will be celebrating Record Store Day on April 20. The famous supergroup will release a three-LP of 'Live at the Royal Albert Hall' in an extremely limited run of only 1,500 copies.

Best known as drummer for Cream and Blind Faith -- and for sporting a less surly mug in his early days -- Ginger Baker celebrates his 73rd birthday on Aug. 19. Since disbanding from Eric Clapton's company in 1969, the boy from South London moved on to form and join other groups, including: Ginger Baker's Air Force, The Ginger Baker Trio, BBM and Masters of Reality...

Although they were only together for two years, the impact that British power trio Cream had upon the world is truly remarkable. No song illustrates this better than 'Sunshine of Your Love,' which mixed hard rock with aspects of psychedelia to wonderful effect.
