The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Dale Crover (the Melvins)

Crover had a brief stint in Nirvana, you can hear his drums on nine tracks off of Bleach and its B-Sides. Crover helped innovate the sludge-metal/shoegaze genre from a percussive standpoint, and the Melvins were able to become famous due to his creative drumming style.

The More You Know

Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury supposedly had a falling out because Michael brought his pet llama to the recording studio.
Before they became (arguably) the biggest pop act of all time, The Beatles had a hard time convincing record labels to sign them. In 1962, they were rejected by Decca Records, whose boss said “guitar groups are on the way out.”
The Beatles were introduced to LSD by a dentist who secretly slipped it into their coffee.
When Pixie’s drummer David Lovering wasn’t drumming, he performed as a professional magician.
