My Take

Dale Crover is one of those musicians whose résumé quietly anchors a whole scene. He's the longtime drummer for Melvins, an Aberdeen band that helped shape the Pacific Northwest sound, and the fact that he briefly drummed for Nirvana and filled in for Dave Lombardo in Fantômas tells me peers trust his timing implicitly. What I respect is the breadth: drummer, guitarist, and vocalist across Altamont, Shrinebuilder, Crystal Fairy, Off!, and Redd Kross. That's not a hired hand padding a discography, it's a genuine utility player who keeps getting called. I'd happily dig into the Melvins catalog on his reputation alone.
