When someone mentioned that he doesn't like Danny's drumming I
relistened to all albums with Danny Thompson and didn't understand why
all of you so don't like his drumming. His drumming is not perfect but
it perfectly fits the material.

Baker's drumming is so weak that everytime I listen to Levitation I
regret that Simon King left Hawkwind. Baker just doesn't have power in
his drums. His drumming is ok for any soft rock band but not for
Hawkwind.
