Early life
Pete Thompson was born in Bournemouth, England and spent most of his life in Southend-on-Sea. He admits in his biography on his official website that when he "was always tapping and singing and generally driving my teachers and parents mad." He got his first drum kit in 1968 and rapidly gained a local attention as a fine young drummer in a town that produced notables such as Gary Brooker, Robin Trower, Mickey Jupp, and Procol Harum. At 19, he became a professional drummer and went on a U.S.O. tour in Europe and played for the soldiers on R&R from the Vietnam War. It was at that time that he met Rod T. "Rook" Davies, guitarist and alumni of David Bowie's The Riot Squad, who would later bring Pete in as the drummer for Silverhead.
