Peter Edward Ginger Baker is an English drummer, best known as the founder of the rock band Cream. Baker’s work in the 1960s earned him praise as rock’s first superstar drummer, although his individual style melded a jazz background with his personal interest in African rhythms. Baker is an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Cream and is widely considered one of the most influential drummers of all time, recognised by his induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2008. In 2016, he was ranked 3rd on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time. Baker is credited as a pioneer of drumming in genres like jazz fusion, heavy metal and world music.
