A British drummer and member of the band Foghat, famed for their relentless touring and strong live performances. A founding member, along with guitarist and vocalist Dave Peverett, guitarist Rod Price and bassist Tony Stevens, Earl is the only living member to have continued with the band throughout all of its various incarnations.

Prior to founding Foghat, Earl was a member of Savoy Brown from 1967 to 1970 and auditioned (unsuccessfully) for the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Earl continues to tour with Foghat, playing around 70 dates a year, specialising in city-fests, biker conventions and the casino circuit, and lives with his wife Linda on the north shore of Long Island, where he is a keen fisherman. Like many long time rock drummers, Roger now wears a hearing aid. His most notable trademark with Foghat was his enormous mustache that covered half his face, but which he doesn't wear anymore.
