I didn't get that impression at all. I thought he came off quite well. I
guess the interviewer could handle someone not giving him (the interviewer)
the respect he felt he "deserved", and so has to try to humiliate him with this

Real drummers use all kinds of grips. It is a little hard to play thumbs
up (often called "French grip") matched on a set as Rich mentions but
then you can hold the left the same as the right with the palms down
with works well on a set. The left hand grip came about trying to play

drummer, too skittery for me, I prefer the solidity of John Bonham. Cream were
better than the sum of their parts I think, I never liked Clapton much
afterwards either.
Yes, he is quite acerbic. A true pitta! In fact you'll notice in the
trailer at the end he is hitting the guy doing the documentary with his
cane.
I saw him play with the Cream and Stevie Winwood but never met the guy.
If I did I'm sure we would have sat around talking drums.

I heard a good story about Ginge, don't know if it's true but apparently he
used to work in a bank and one day told the manager that he was quitting to
become a famous drummer. The manager said but you don't play drums, and Ginge
replied, not yet!
He came across as a total asshole in a rece
BTW, this documentary is excellent. I highly recommend it to those
interested in the era and what an unusual character Baker is. He never
has thought of himself as a rock drummer but a jazz drummer. In fact I
recall that one of my drum teachers pointed out that Baker was not
playing the typi

By that criterion I'm not a drummer, but drumming is one of the few things I

I especially like to put a metronome at something like 140 - 150 BPS and
Excellent! It is good that such things have survived all the tech.

Thumbs top grip. This is usually a grip for tympani.

Hey, Carde, ever heard of a unit of measure called a "poronkusema"? Apparently
the Samis use it - the distance a reindeer travels before it has to pee. I just
