Baker's work in the 1960s earned him praise as "rock's first superstar drummer", although his individual style melded a jazz background with his personal interest in African rhythms. In 2016, he was ranked 3rd on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time". He is credited as a pioneer of drumming in genres like jazz fusion, heavy metal and world music.
