When the frantic slam of "In The Future" suddenly stopped dead in its tracks and was instantly replaced by the high-hat swing that opened "Looks, Looks, Looks", my first thought was, "Wow, how many drummers can nail all these styles that are so different from each other on the same album?" The answer is very few, and Dinky was the best shape-shifter for the job. His fills and syncopation added perfectly to the controlled chaos of those records' wilder tunes, and his changeups within even the more deceptively-subdued slower tracks like "Bon Voyage" (a very complicated song that they somehow made sound easy) added perfect little Easter eggs to what was already a garden of a thousand delights. His skill and instincts were a huge part of the world that the band created for themselves and their lucky fans - that album made me decide to join the Sparks Fan Club!!! I will always be a fan of the late, great Mr. Diamond as well.

I was 13, in Junior High School and had a close friend whose Dad was an exec with Island Records. Dad got us backstage passes where we watched the whole concert and met the band. Alot of the kids were big fans of Kimono My House and didnt believe our story. But I still have the pass and a great memory of that night. Dinky was our favorite drummer but I believe he had left the band by then. Sorry to hear of his rough times and demise. RIP.

I loved seeing Sparks on Top Of The Pops with Dinky, top entertainment.<br />I could never understand why their newer singles always seemed to be less successful than the last one, I guess they were just too sophisticated for mere 'pop music'.<br />It brought back fond memories reading the above contributions from his fellow musicians and band colleagues, I'll never forget Dinky or the impression his music made on my teenage life.

You would know more about that I guess. But Dinky looked very cool (and rich) on the back cover of Indiscreet chomping on a Havana cigar in that cream three piece number. Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers also had to wear suits and ties, even in hot sweaty clubs under the lights as "respect for the music." I saw him years ago in Manchester, now sadly passed on. So it was that I was alluding too, not comparing the drummers. Dinky was in a totally different plane to Art Blakey's craft. But - he pulled it off for those three Sparks LP's in the rock canon, and we are better off with that. <br />Monte, as concerns the Russians, I recall a promo image of Ron holding some Stravinsky sheet music @ "Balls" era I believe. Now if that isn't a tribute, what is? I know my Russian classics well, and I am damn sure Ron does too. A listen to some of Shostakovich may convince.

Fitting in perfectly between the bass and guitar, and Ron's organ, together with a judicious use of hi-hat, he did have one of the best ever drummer names and laid the while thing down wearing a cream suit. He was Sparks' Art Blakey to Ron Mael's Tchaikovsky. Ever noticed how this Sparks era sounds a bit classically Russian? Dinky, RIP.
