Carl Palmer

Precision, speed, and orchestral ambition shaped Carl Palmer’s drumming with Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He helped turn the rock drum kit into a featured solo instrument, using timpani, gongs, and complex patterns alongside the keyboard writing of Keith Emerson and the voice of Greg Lake. Palmer became one of the defining drummers of progressive rock in the 1970s.
