Zildjan drummers awards / Ginger Baker Lifetime Achievement Highlights

We produced, edited Ginger Baker biography, filmed and edited Eric Clapton message and did the multi cam TX record and live mix with our vision mixer and camera / camera persons.

One good turn truly deserves another. In the 1960s, at one time, Charlie Watts, who had so much respect for Ginger, had two drumming gigs and, when he heard that Ginger was struggling at one point and needed a gig, offered one of his own gigs to him. Ginger would later return the favour by recommending Charlie to one Brian Jones, and the rest in history.

[@freakbennett2263]

ïncrëdible,, Charlie gives Ginger a DRUMMER S gig, Ginger tōòk Charlie Watts place in Alexsus Blue s band, and it's a Classic Question, gõ listen to Moby Dick LIVE, ït is Phenomenal, bbut, no matter what the hell is going on, I have got Charlie to Fall back, ït is Some kind of Rock and Jazz tà Mê, he can take you to the Heights of a Song, but be draggin down to bowel s of Hëll the next minute, holy shit, Rämblïn, sorry, Stòned, jùs såyîn ¡😎🥚😎¡

[@TheJohnnyDoggs]

For two guys who hated each other, they sure did a lot of stuff. Ginger and Jack.

[@leonardtunstad3884]

ginger envied the songwriting revenue that made jack and pete brown rich...

[@jeffreymalack3723]

Baker & Bruce: simply the greatest rhythm section of all time.

[@MrAschiff]

I think it's more accurate to say they had a love/hate relationship.

[@gregtank311]

Their relationship was complex like brothers, I think they loved each other like brothers and got on each others nerves like family. I personally would not describe it as hate.

[@ciccioaporta3774]

As Jack himself summed it up in an interview conducted near the time of his stint with Tony Williams , 'Ginger is a Leo , and i am a Taurus, His attitude toward life, generally ,is black. And mine is white. So , I think that makes for good rhythm sections...". Okay now ,everybody ?

[@bensousan225]

RIP Jack Bruce, i wish you would have lived many more years to enjoy hearing so much talent in one person.

[@marvinchase4899]

Wow! Ginger Baker receiving an Award from Charlie Watts! Fabulous! That would be like John Lennon getting an Award from Brian Wilson;😢

[@adrianlyord5300]

So unique and inspiring thank Mr. Baker and RIP to both Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.

[@chipstern1]

Ginger Baker & TONY ALLEN on drums: The Afro-Jazz Connection. An old collaborator. Ginger also famously played and recorded with the great Guy Warren. Great video. Many thanks.

[@tracyyy99]

R.I.P Ginger Baker...Just knew of you as being a great drummer.

[@jamestcallahanphotographer]

...and a great JAZZ drummer at that...😌

[@nhl041976]

jack & ginger ❤️

[@AB-C1]

Greatest musicians to ever grace the earth! God Bless them and RIP Ginger and Jack! 😎✝️🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@BoomerLoveforGenZ]

Ginger always blew me away with the double base and his drum patterns.

[@stephenperry4197]

There are still countless great musicians in the world, but all the legends are going away.

[@jasongledhill6596]

Absolutely brilliant jack Bruce and ginger baker what legends

[@maximillianvermontsuperbik2624]

This guy, in his prime, was nothing, nothing, short of absolutely super human, in rhythmic composition, and never to be seen again.

[@VegetabIeMan]

jesus ocando Well that’s what started this whole mess. Ginger’s actual comment from the documentary film of his life started with “The general public..”. You can go on forums on the internet dating back before 2008 of just Bonham fanboys and otherwise just disrespecting Ginger Baker. The Bonham fanboys started this mess as there will always be those whom not don’t know, but don’t care to know.

[@douglasknoll3500]

........simmer down,...now...!

[@gaspo2180]

Get Ginger's book (at the library), YOU WILL LOVE IT. I learned so much. He loves polo. Who knew ? He's had his demons in life (women, drugs) but he's lived thru it all and he's still with us. AMAZING. He's one of the all-time GREATS. Still has all his Zildjian's from DAY ONE. The guy has his priorities in order, I guess. 9.24.16

[@marceibel1131]

Three drum legends Ginger Baker, Tony Allen, Charlie Watts... Rip..So dearly missed..

[@patgod67]

I was at this gig, a 14 year old back in 2008 at Shepherd's Bush Empire. Mitch Mitchell was going to be a surprise appearance but died a few weeks prior, if I recall correctly. Absolute fucking class night.

[@rockinvida1960]

Listen to his work with Masters Of Reality, specifically Sunrise on the Sufferbus. Mindblowing drumming...And his DW drums sound huge and explosive...

[@johnbreedlove3245]

Ginger Bakers Air Force too. Pow. He's phenomenal.

[@Bonzo_B]

His fills on she got me are amazing, also i really dig jb witch dance, super cool groove

[@alanpartridge4681]

His was still playing Ludwig with Masters of Reality. I agree his playing on that album is out of this world though!

[@rockinvida1960]

Alan Partridge Yes, you are right on that...thanks for the correction.

[@kennethkunie4978]

people love believing all the bad things they hear about Mr. Baker. I personally have nothing but the highest respect for the man. my greatest influence for 49 years. the greatest compliment I ever had was when I auditioned for a band and after the first song the bass player turned to me and said, you sound like Ginger Baker.

[@bendawn-cross5622]

I got that compliment a couple times. Always great to hear.

[@VegetabIeMan]

kenneth kunie it's all those Bonham freaks with "Bonzo" as their alias. They always say the same, Baker was a hateful angry man when they haven't met the man they use that as way to judge his drumming when it is beyond comprehension to do so. That's the equivalent to saying Bonham was a fat drunk and that's why he is overrated. Baker was the best and first to contribute jazz drumming to rock n' roll. He is the best.

[@dedexyz8475]

And the bass player was zonked on acid, right? But damn....YOU of all people, HAD that fucking talent!!! N-O-T

[@johnbreedlove3245]

I just ripped someones ass over that too. A Bonham/Moon freak. Hey, arent they great!? Sure. But Ginger is in his own class. I always chide those flocks of drummers who say their big favs are so and so, AND Bonham, or start with Bonham. I say, ever heard early Phil Collins? Richie Hayward? Ginger Baker? Roger Taylor? Sly Dunbar? ....Nope. They havent. Hahaha!!!!

[@plasticweapon]

i think i see ginger as he is. he's ONE of the world's greatest drummers. he's more versatile than bonham or moon, who are also great (which people will know if they listen to enough of ginger's work). he's a bad man, but has also had bad things done to him. he's a liar, but more trust worthy than certain others. he's not as crazy or antagonistic as jack bruce, who gets by pretending to be nice, but has admitted that he got a kick out of provoking ginger. it's more rewarding to take someone as they are, as opposed to lionizing or demonizing them.

[@honour123]

When I hear so many of my rock god dummers from the 80s and on.. most point to either Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Ringo Starr or Keith Moon as major influences if they know anything about early rock music. Just to name a few. RIP Ginger.

[@Navroze]

Absolutely a great drummer....

[@therealmule]

[@jkindred1487]

Mr. Baker truly is one of the greats! He will an inspiration to many.

[@bronson2k192]

The only time he was happy.... when he was sitting behind his drums.... rip ginger

[@eightinches6094]

Sadly the problem with aging rock stars passing away little by little is that there's nobody taking their place. Who are the great and upcoming drummers of today? Who are the great and upcoming songwriters of today? There's nobody to pass the baton to.

[@wtw100]

​@Douglas Fisher You really have to search the internet to find great music of today. Radio and television is all corporate BS.

[@arthurdeth7646]

Old quote by Ginger from Melody Maker (70's). " I don't play the drums, I bash them". The original founder member of Cream.

[@maupinmaupin1472]

There will never again be the like of Ginger Baker. RIP. I miss him lots.

[@rblennerhed]

Cool clip Ginger. I enjoy your Pro performance and Pro drum playing. Get well soon. I pray for You. Best regards Robert from Sweden.

Open heart surgery. Don't forget the open heart surgery. If he doesn't die, though, I bet he'll get behind the kit again... If fact he did play a little (just a couple of minutes) at Jack Bruce's memorial concert last November 2016 or whenever it was...
