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, and in 2016 Rolling Stone magazine 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 his 2017 release The Fickle Finger of Fate, his eclectic and tuneful solo debut.
