Mickey Waller, Dead at 66

May 30, 2008

Veteran session drummer Mickey Waller died of liver cancer yesterday. Just a few of the notable folks he kept time for: Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Rod Stewart, and Jeff Beck.

In lieu of reading a cobbled together eulogy from BDT, have a gander at Waller’s excellent obituary in the Guardian. We’re betting he would have been pleased.
