Just listen to the drum break right after the fast bebop section of Schizoid Man from the Fillmore East… You actually hear the audience freak out in amazement at that drum roll…
Fripp speaks of M. Gile’s musicianship in the liner notes of the CD… No one sounded like him, or played like him…

agree with your comments about Mike Giles. I think that M. Giles
drumming with Crimso is amazing. One of my
favorite rock drummers of
all time. :) Perhaps a drummer that has been
overlooked...?
