Title: R.I.P. Lee Kerslake
Post by: Jack the Stripper on September 19, 2020, 07:17:01 AM

The great & legendary Lee Kerslake has sadly lost his long battle with cancer.

I’m sure he needs no introduction or summary around here so will just say what a brilliant drummer and musician he was and what an amazing career he had. Diary of a Madman will always be not only one of my all time favourite albums but also one of my all time favourite drumming performances by anyone. I’ll never forget dropping the needle on Over The Mountain for the first time.

R.I.P. Mr Kerslake.

RIP Lee

A legendary and very underrated drummer.

Lee’s isolated drum track from Over the Mountain. Thunderous opening into a great groove and  fills.
