Jon Hiseman/Colosseum
Chris Welch, History of Rock, The, 1982
A SWIRLING barrage of ideas flecked with passion epitomizes the style of one of rocks finest drummers — the highly-respected Jon Hiseman. Rock music has laid claim to his talents since the mid-'60s, but he is a complete drummer, a man who has devoted his intellectual and physical powers to the instrument.
