Kofi Baker son of legendary drumming icon Ginger Baker; Kofi Baker has a name that’s synonymous with drumming excellence. And Kofi lives up to his name; with his outstanding skills, drive, and dedication he continues the great Baker legacy. His dad played with Eric Clapton & Jace Bruce in Cream & also Blind Faith & a host of other fantastic bands. Beat Boogie Quality Custom special 1 off snare drum was designed with Kofi's mum's artwork. Liz created some great artwork back in the day. The Liz Baker airbrush design was used for my friend Kofi 13”x7” Maple Snare. Her art work used is called “Alien Land”. Wishing Kofi Baker all the best!
