) is a musician best known for having been the drummer
for the rock group The Velvet Underground
.
as a keypunch operator. The band's original percussionist, Angus Maclise
, had left in November 1965 because he felt the band sold out
when it took a paying gig. Tucker was drafted because Velvets guitarist
Sterling Morrison
remembered her as the younger sister of one of his college friends who played the drums. Tucker was frequently noted for her androgynous
appearance.
Tucker's style of playing was unconventional. She played standing up rather than seated (for easier access to the bass drum), using a simplified drum kit of tom tom
s, a snare drum
and an upturned bass drum
, playing with mallets rather than drumsticks. She rarely used cymbals; she claimed that since she felt the purpose of a drummer was simply to "keep time", cymbals were unnecessary for this purpose and drowned out the other instruments.
Apart from drumming, Tucker sang co-lead vocals on three Velvet Underground songs: the acoustic guitar number "After Hours
" and the strange poem set to music "The Murder Mystery", both from 1969's The Velvet Underground
album, as well as "I'm Sticking with You
", a song recorded in 1969 but left (officially) unreleased until it appeared on the 1985 outtake
