About Dale Crover

Dale Crover is well known as one of the era's most powerful drummers and a versatile musician whose influence extends far beyond his instrument. Best known as a founding member of the legendary band Melvins, Crover's thunderous yet precise drumming style has been a driving force behind the band's groundbreaking sound for decades. However, his contributions to the world of music are not confined exclusively to the drum kit; Crover's talents as a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter have further cemented his status as a multifaceted artist. Beyond his work with Melvins, and Nirvana, he co-founded the Bay Area band, Altamont (pivoting to guitar/vocals), and has been a member of Redd Kross for the past several years. Crover has released two solo albums: The Fickle Finger of Fate (2017) and Rat-A-Tat-Tat! (2021), showcasing his prowess as a frontman and songwriter.
