Ginger’s ‘Toad’ solos were spellbinding… he was a truly amazing drummer.

I got to see Cream play in 2005 at Madison Square Garden. It was unbelievably fantastic.

This is a priceless piece of video.
Thank you for showing this old man still had it in spades.

Some are born to run
Some are born to be wild
Some are born under a bad sign
And some are BORN TO DRUM 🥁

His technique is absolutely incredible and it sounds so clean!!!!

I saw Ginger Baker play about ten years after this, a few years before he died, in London with 'Jazz Confusion'. He was even more crippled up with arthritis then and on powerful pain killers - but he definitely still had it!

The posture is most incredible.

How often do you see drummers sit that straight and let their hands, wrists, and arms do the work?

[josephesposito]

One of the greatest drummers to ever live. Sad to see him here in declining health

[DonTrishLayne]

The guy was just mesmerizing to watch!
