CARL PALMER
Carl Palmer (born 20 March 1950, Handsworth, Birmingham, England) is an English drummer and percussionist. He is credited as one of the most respected rock drummers to emerge from the 1960’s. In addition, Palmer is a veteran of a number of famous English bands, including The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Atomic Rooster, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Asia. (More from Wikipedia)
Vocalist Greg Lake of King Crimson joined keyboard wiz Keith Emerson of the Nice and Carl Palmer, who had drummed for the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Atomic Rooster, in forming Emerson, Lake and Palmer; how you feel about this “super group” probably goes a long way toward defining how you feel about progressive rock as a whole.
