Another great leaves us far too soon. R.I.P. Mr Buckler.
a fabulous drummer. his boys brigade spell, gave him great stick control, that shows in every song he recorded on. as a fellow drummer, ive tried to emulate some of those songs, with little success. he was and always will be, a force behind a drum kit. very sad news RIP
