definitely a good drummer!! heard he's quite arrogant though. but i could be wrong.

 

[Sonar Dave]

I got kinda tired just watching him.

 

[Al Strange]

Carl deffo smashing it on that solo! Enjoyed that, thanks!

 

[Bo Eder]

What? No hanging line he can grab with his mouth to ring the bell?

That was so cool! I imagine he doesn’t want to give himself whiplash anymore. But at least he still brings two gongs

I was around 9 or 10 when I first heard his solo on "Tank".
Scared the hell out of me!

 

[Tiges]

Man he still does have it great solo full of indurance and power loved it a lovely kit to go with it.

 

[Seafroggys]

That man has always been in tip top shape. You've been able to tell since their original 1992 reunion that he was way fitter than Emerson and Lake. His efforts to keep in shape are really paying off now that he can continue to play at that caliber into his 70s.

Let this be a lesson to you all to stay fit and in shape! Your older self will thank you.

I don't like really long drum solos but he is still top of his game.

Saw him on the Asia reunion in 2006, he's bloody good live.

Him and his bro Steve are both amazing players. I had a year of lessons from Steve, he's a great latin teacher. Quite amazing for a bloke from Handsworth in Birmingham

 

[Infamous Beater]

He's currently touring with Emerson, Lake and Palmer -- undeterred by the fact Emerson and Lake have been dead since 2006.

This could probably be said about a lot of name drummers. But on the other hand, I’ve made it a point to not want to actually meet my drumming heroes. I like the music they do, and I’m happy to leave it there.

 

[Super Phil]

Saw him on the Monsters Of Rock cruise a few years back, and he was great!

 

[Drumolator]

I saw Emerson, Lake, and Palmer once and Asia twice, once in the 80s and once in the 2000s. Peace and goodwill.

 

[Croc]

Saw him on one of the ELP tribute tours about 5 years ago. At the meet and greet, he was friendly and funny, making a pretty good wisecrack about my King Crimson shirt. When the trio begin playing, he looked a little sluggish and off track. I thought "Oh, man, he has hung around too long and this is going to be sad". About the third song, he tightened up remarkably and played great the rest of the night. I'd see him again.

 

[Push pull stroke]

I wasn’t enjoying the solo, but yeah, he still gets around the kit really well. And that steel kit sounds AMAZING

Since I know when ELP started, I intellectually know roughly how old he must be. But looking at him there, I would’ve said he was late 50s at the most, and maybe prematurely (entirely) gray in his 40s.

He's 72 I believe March 1950
