I suppose Baker is the better drummer, and he certainly has more
character--I recently got hold of the Masters of Reality album with him
on and am already in love with the song about tea forever--but that
character, unlike Richard's, doesn't seem to be one that anyone can
stomach for long in their band. Can I get away with arguing that
managing to remain part of a band qualifies as being a proficient
musician? :-) Yours,
Jon
