Bill Lordan onstage with the Robin Trower Band "LIVE"
Bill Lordan is a brilliant drummer in any musical setting. It just so happens that his talent applied to the music of Dewar and Trower fit like a glove. In September of 1974 Bill was given the nod to replace original RTB drummer Reg Isadore. Bill’s signature syncopations and cymbal mastery changed the sound of the RTB immediately. Songs had more fire, more dynamics and suddenly everything just clicked. His trademark long blond hair and his one of a kind Rodgers drums covered with shimmering gold material (courtesy of design giant Halston) became a visual cue that the Robin Trower Band was complete. Dewar’s high expectations for drummers had been met and Robin beamed like a proud new father.
I am happy to say that Bill has generously agreed to contribute to this site and we can look to see new contributions as he recalls them. Many thanks Bill, for your role in this great musical experience and for your generous contributions to this site. CK
