The Most Unhinged Drummer in Rock History

August 7, 2026 · 20 min

Show notes

Music has no shortage of divas and eccentric personalities, but in Ginger Baker’s case, his actions earned a whole new level of notoriety. While he spent much of his life collaborating with other musicians in various groups, one would be hard-pressed to find more than a few who truly called him a friend. To fans and those closest to him, he was ill-tempered at best, and dangerous at worst—all while being one of the most iconic drummers in rock history.
