For all the different things he did, he'll always still be first and foremost the drummer from Cream.

John Bonham once said that there were only two drummers in British rock 'n' roll, himself and Ginger Baker.

Saw a documentary about him somewhere — Beware of Mr. Baker. It was pretty interesting, but i have no idea where i saw it. Maybe it used to be on Netflix?

It’s an interesting documentary, even if you’re not into that music. I didn’t know anything about him. Might help if you are a musician of some sort, though.
