So ... in 1982 Ric Parnell was kicked out of my band and into immortality as exploding drummer "Mick Shrimpton" in This Is Spinal Tap for passing out at too many sold-out gigs from subsisting on a diet of pure cocaine and 12 pieces of chocolate cake a day. We reunited 35 years later in 2017, recording 18 songs together.

He was an awesome studio drummer. Hear him on songs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 19 and 20 our 80s playlist here:

The most Spinal Tap sounding song on that 2017 playlist is #23 , with #14 a close second:

The guy can play anything, he's also on songs 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22.

If you want to see what he looked like recording in 2017:
