Dale Crover

Dale Crover has the distinction of having played drums with not one, but two of the most important bands in alternative rock; he's spent over three decades with the massively influential merchants of heaviness the Melvins, and he briefly handled percussion duties with Nirvana. Crover's technical skill and muscular attack made him a major influence on many drummers on the heavy side of the alternative and indie rock communities. In 2016, Rolling Stone placed Crover at number 69 on their list of the 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time. Crover showed he was more than just a great drummer on solo outings like his 2017 debut The Fickle Finger of Fate, and subsequent albums like 2024's guest star-abundant Glossolalia.
