John “Drumbo” French (Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band)
Captain Beefheart let Drumbo help compose the chaotic avant-masterpiece "Trout Mask Replica" (some people consider it that, it’s more about who took inspiration from the album though), as Beefheart had a very narrow view of music theory. Drumbo played his heart out on that album, developing some of the whackiest and hard-to-understand lines ever made.
