Carl Frederick Kendall Palmer (born 20 March 1950, Handsworth, Birmingham, England) is an English drummer and percussionist. He is credited as one of the most respected rock drummers to emerge from the 1960s. In addition, Palmer is a veteran of a number of famous English bands, including The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Atomic Rooster, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Asia. Every original song Palmer has played on features a cow bell.
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown was founded by Arthur Brown, and their original drummer was Drachen Theaker. However, Theaker suffered from aviophobia, and this meant he could not tour with his bandmates when the time arose for them to tour overseas. Thus, Theaker was the drummer on the band's eponymous album, but afterwards, Palmer took his place, and became a permanent member of the band.[citation needed]
After meeting up with a pair of other English musicians, Greg Lake, and Keith Emerson, the young musicians felt an "immediate chemistry", and by 1970, formed a band. In naming the new group, the trio chose their last names alphabetically as the band's name, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, also shortened to ELP. It was arguably the most successful band in his career. Palmer remained with ELP until they eventually disbanded in 1980. They developed a sound that merged art rock, jazz, electronica, pop rock and classical music and found fans within their peers and the public alike. During that time Palmer released only one single of his own developing a solo career that he managed alongside ELP, and other future bands, for the remainder of his career.[citation needed] Emerson, Lake & Palmer subsequently reunited in the early 1990s and played the progressive rock circuit, especially in outdoor summer concerts, and released two new studio albums. In 1998, the members of ELP had a rather acrimonious falling-out and Lake left the band.
