  • Michael Charles Avory is an English musician, best known as the longtime drummer and percussionist for the British rock band, The Kinks, joining them shortly after their formation in 1964 and remaining with them until 1984, when he left amid creative friction with guitarist Dave Davies. He is the longest serving member of the band, beside the Davies brothers. While not as flamboyant as other drummers of the period, such as Keith Moon or John Bonham, Mick Avory is a talented and precise drummer and percussionist. Avory was mostly influenced by jazz drummers like Art Blakey, Max Roach, Joe Morello and Shelly Mann. Although he is overlooked in the context of the band, his contribution to The Kinks' sound is unquestionable. Ray Davies said of him: "Mick had an important sound. Mick wasn't a great drummer, but he was a jazz drummer -- same school, same era as Charlie Watts. " He is mostly thought of as an expert back-up performer, known for his fluid jazz drumming and efficient steadiness.
  • Mick Avory is een Engels musicus. Hij was drummer van de Britse rockband The Kinks. Hij studeerde Drumtech op de London drum school. Voor Avory bij de Kinks drumde, speelde hij ook weleens bij de Rolling Stones als vervanger van de min of meer vaste Stones-drummer van 1962: Tony Chapman - Avory speelde in het eerste concert van de Stones in de Marquee Club. Begin 1963 werd Tony Chapman vervangen door Charlie Watts en werd ook Mick Avory niet meer gevraagd als invaller bij de Rolling Stones. Avory was actief bij The Kinks van 1964 tot 1984, toen hij creatief botste met gitarist Dave Davies. Avory was, evenals de gebroeders Davies, langdurig lid van de Kinks.
