Mick Tucker was and will always be a great drummer. He was fresh had great technical skills and had a natural talent. As a drummer he was and will always be a true inspiration to me. An absolute Legend, Taken way too early. Rest In Peace Mick.
Nice tribute to Mick. Thank you! He never got the credit he deserved. We true fans will never forget him. RIP darling Mick. You'll always be my favorite drummer. 💘😘 Keep rockin with Brian and Steve.
I first heard Micks drumming when I was ten years old in 1973. The Sweet song " Blockbuster" had just shot to No1, no easy feat when a band had to sell a million 7inch single records in under a fortnight to reach even the top 3 in the charts. The only other drummer at the time that blew my mind was Kevin Godley of 10cc, this shows how great Mick Tucker sounded to me back in those days. Just listen to his opening snare work on " Ballroom Blitz " absolutely world class and completely original. R.I.P.
I'm a Sweet fan for more than 50 years and Mick was a very underrated fantastic drummer and showman. Saw him twice perform and meet him in 1990. Got two drumsticks with his name on it. (thnx to Janet Tucker)
The most underrated drummer of all time. He had it all. The looks, the skill, and a good voice. He got better with time. By the mid 80's, he was at his best as far as his talent goes as a drummer. Love Mick Tucksr, and consider him one of my most valuable influences as a drummer. R I P. Bro!
Mick Tucker was the greatest rock drummer that the UK and the world never truly recognised.., he was, and is .., A Legend! Ballroom Blitz..., an incredible piece of drumming., and then some.., Into The Night., Sweet F.A., Solid Gold Brass..., Just a Superb piece of drumming, every track!.., and then some.., Midnight To Daylight.., and in my humble opinion..., one of the greatest recorded rock jams ever.., the brilliant 'Keep It In' from the 'Give Us A Wink' album from 1976.., absolutely incredible drumming!! I was fortunate enough to accidently bump into Mick in Debenhams in Harrow in 1982.., I had nothing for him to sign for me as it was purely an accidental meet.., but he shook my hand as I told him that I was a life-long Sweet fan, and that he was the main reason as to why I became a drummer., x R.I.P Mick..., you, (& Cozy) were and always will be the one and only reason as to why I too became a drummer at an early age.., still am, and I'm way passed 60 now!! .., ;) xx
Мне 61 год и я тоже барабанщик. Mick Tucker и группа Sweet - это мои кумиры. Основа музыкального исполнения группы держалась всегда на ударных, во главе которых был великолепный Mick!!!
Saw mick play live twice in 1981 and i have seen many bands since but none of the drummers came close to Mick Tucker a true great who left us to soon.🤩
Никогда не забуду с детства любимую группу Sweet и конечно же Мика Такера- непревзойденного барабанщика с золотыми руками!Покойся с миром,дорогой,талантливый Мик!
My absolute drumming hero. Thought I could follow your patterns, boy was I wrong. I tried my very best with "Give us a Wink".... failed miserably ! But my love and appreciation for everything Tucker, will always carry on. Good and safe journey, Michael. Always.... 😆🤗😊❤️💐
Mick Tucker Show me in 1977, I was 13 years old, The real Power Drumming in Rock With Ballroom Blitz on the Album Desolation Boulevard 1974. For Me is The Best Drum Intro in Rock History Thanks Mick!!!❤😊🥁
One of the best drummers from that time, for me he was an inspiration, I tried to learn from him....all these times I played with theire record Ballroom Blitz...my parents went crazy....
If he'd had hooked up with one of the big rock bands like iron maiden or black Sabbath he'd have been rated much higher and got the recognition he rightly deserved, amazing drummer who I never tire of listening to
It’s so good to see this today. I’ve had a rough couple of days with a virus, I come back to RU-vid and see this straight away, it’s fantastic. The ins and outs of how a band comes together is fascinating. The thing that sticks with me is watching these guys in a documentary sounding like regular tradies, really down to earth. They understood theatre as well as music. This is brilliant!❤️
Thank you Deidre I hope you are on the mend and feel better very soon 🥰 Yes it's great learning about musicians and how they lived, it's so interesting and sometimes a little surprising! Take care of yourself and thanks for watching 🤗💕
I think I read somewhere that a poll was taken every year and Mick Tucker was voted the best drummer in the U.K. almost every year in the 1970's, beating out the likes of Ringo Starr, John Bonham and Keith Moon.
Carl palmer also recieved quite few trophies in the 70's for his drumming. Mick Tucker was also up there with the best drummers & quite rightly so. Ive recently been looking at the box set of the Sweet at Musik Laden, ! Mick had some awesome grooves going on & was a beast of a drummer.
