Keith Baker (born 17 April 1950) is a drummer. He is best known for being the drummer on the second album by Uriah Heep, Salisbury, and for being the original drummer for Supertramp.
He played for Bakerloo, but left the group following the release of its only album.[1] He subsequently became the first drummer of Supertramp (then called Daddy) between late 1969 and early 1970.[2][3] After leaving in January 1970, Baker joined Uriah Heep prior to their second album Salisbury, replacing Nigel Olsson.[4] He recorded the album with the group, but left when he did not want to tour extensively with the band and was replaced by Ian Clark.[5]
Baker previously had prostate cancer.[6]
