Ginger Baker definitely played the best drum solos - Most drummers just show chops e.g who's got the fastest single stroke roll. Not Ginger-Ginger's solo's were COMPOSITIONAL pieces of percussion music in their own right, which keep the main rhythm or beat going and then decorate and embellish this central, driving pulse with various syconpated, dynamically played explosions - great stuff!!!

“In the film your time in Africa was obviously very very important to you. Was that when you felt most musically fulfilled?” By opening with a patronising, leading question like this, the interviewer is obviously both expectating and obliging Ginger to play some cosy little game... One thing that should be obvious to anybody about Ginger Baker, is that he's most definitely NOT the sort of person who likes to be patronised - If somebody tries to patronise Ginger, even in a relatively innocent way such as here, he will not respond positively... Ginger Baker has probably felt musically fulfilled for most of his drumming career or being the sort of person he is, he wouldn't have even gone to one single rehearsal. This is ofcourse excluding his mercenary stint with Hawkwind. This interviewer obviously knew NOTHING whatsoever about Ginger Baker or his music career. Why would somebody as blunt and direct as Ginger, suffer this media fool and his mostly stupid questions gladly???
