Dale Crover (born October 23, 1967) is an American rock musician. Crover is best known as the drummer for Melvins. He's also been the drummer for Men of Porn, Shrinebuilder, and for a brief time, Nirvana. He is also guitarist and vocalist for Altamont. He has also toured with Fantômas, filling in for Dave Lombardo, who is most famous for his work in Slayer.

Biography

Melvins recruited Crover on drums in 1984 from out of an Iron Maiden cover band, following (original drummer) Mike Dillard's departure. In late 1985 Crover played bass in Fecal Matter, a band he formed with Kurt Cobain and Greg Hokanson. After Hokanson left the band, Cobain and Crover recorded Illiteracy Will Prevail on a 4-track in December 1985 at Cobain's aunt's home in Seattle, Washington. Crover played bass and drums on the demo. Spank Thru from this demo appears on the Nirvana album Sliver: The Best of the Box. Fecal Matter disbanded in 1986.

Crover drummed on Nirvana's ten-song demo recorded January 23, 1988 at Reciprocal Recording Studios in Seattle. Nine of these songs have been officially released:
