More on Bun E. Carlos
Description from Wikipedia:
Bun E. Carlos ( June 12, 1951 in Rockford, Illinois) is the drummer for American rock band Cheap Trick. He is the band's chief setlister and archivist, and maintains recordings of all the band's shows, some of which have been released under the name 'Bun E's Bootlegs'. Bun is short for Bunezuela according to the liner notes of the first Cheap Trick album.
Bun E.'s family includes Kurt Carlson, a member of the hijacked plane (TWA Flight 847) in 1985.
Bun E is left-handed, but has alternated between left and right-handed playing throughout his career.
Carlos has few writing credits, the most notable of which is the drum solo track "Who D'King", from the album All Shook Up and Bun E. in a Box (2004), a drum sample CD.
During the 1990s he quit smoking, thus losing his trademark dangling cigarette.
