Ginger Baker’s drums on Cream’s Tales Of Brave Ulyssees are so sublime.

Amen. He didn't play it as background, but as an EQUAL instrument. Amazing.

Intersting story about "Sunshine of Your Love" and Baker. Originally, Jack Bruce had the tempo of that song VERY fast - which completely changed the feeling of the song (try and imagine "Sunshine of Your Love" on amphetamines).

It was Ginger who argued "No, no, no! Slow it down - like this!" and he did the famous drum line which you can hear on the song.

Bruce didn't like it so slow, but Felix Pappalardi, the producer, sided with Ginger. The rest is history.

Yes, Baker played the skins on SoYL as if his life depended on it. Same for the fills on "White Room".
