My Take

Robbie Bachman earns my respect as the steady pulse behind a band whose name carried his more famous brother. As the original drummer for both Brave Belt and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, he laid the rhythmic foundation for some of the most recognizable rock of the 1970s. I'm drawn to musicians content to anchor from the back rather than chase the front of the stage, and his unfussy Robbie or Rob credits suggest exactly that temperament. Though he passed in 2023, the grooves he hammered out remain pressed permanently into those records, which feels like the most fitting legacy a drummer could ask for.

Overview

Robin Peter Kendall Bachman (February 18, 1953 – January 12, 2023) was a Canadian drummer and the youngest brother of guitarist, singer and songwriter Randy Bachman. He was the original drummer for both the Brave Belt and Bachman–Turner Overdrive bands. He was most often credited as "Robbie" or "Rob" on the liner notes of Brave Belt and BTO albums.
