description: "Clive William Bunker is an English rock drummer. He is best known as the original drummer of Jethro Tull, playing in the band from 1967 until 1971. Never a self-professed technical drummer, Bunker engaged with the essence of blues and rock 'n' roll, influenced by Ginger Baker and Mitch Mitchell. He was also inspired by Buddy Rich and the Hollies' Bobby Elliott."
