He was often cited by Rush drummer Neil Peart as an influence. In late 2008, an experimental group focused on improvisation was announced, Michael Giles' MAD Band, with Adrian Chivers and Dan Pennie. Each style of gimp can bring a different flair to your project. Our gimp braids are available in a range of designs, including the basic gimp, circle gimp, chenille gimp and more. After one studio session and a single tour, Giles passed the drum stool to another former King Crimson drummer, Ian Wallace. Gimp braid can add a decorative flourish to any of your clothing or home décor projects that you cannot get with traditional trim. In 2002, he co-founded the 21st Century Schizoid Band, a group composed of former King Crimson musicians, with the exception of his son-in-law, guitarist and vocalist Jakko Jakszyk, who later joined King Crimson. Giles only solo album, Progress, was recorded at his home studio in 1978, but not released until 2003.
He also played on McDonald's 1999 solo album Driver's Eyes. Giles then worked as a session player for the duration of the 1970s, appearing on albums by Anthony Phillips, Leo Sayer, and Kevin Ayers. He and McDonald recorded an album called McDonald and Giles, which was lighter in style than King Crimson, but still technically demanding. Giles and Ian McDonald both left King Crimson in December 1969, though Giles played on the band's second album, In the Wake of Poseidon, as part of a temporary line-up before the remaining members had a set new line-up in place. Giles's compositional ear is evidenced by his ability to weave seamless tempo changes and subtle melodic deviations into his drumming throughout the album. His playing dictated much of the compositional structure of the first King Crimson album, In the Court of the Crimson King. His drumming technique is complex and polyrhythmic, based primarily on the jazz tradition, but also on the then developing progressive rock tradition. Giles was born in Waterlooville, Hampshire, England. Prior to the formation of King Crimson, he was part of the eccentric pop trio Giles, Giles and Fripp along with his brother, bassist Peter, and guitarist Robert Fripp. Michael Rex Giles (born 1 March 1942) is an English drummer, percussionist, and vocalist, best known as one of the co-founders of King Crimson in 1969.
