Les Binks

James Leslie Binks (born 5 April 1951[citation needed] in Portadown, Northern Ireland), is an Irish heavy metal drummer, who is most notable for having been the drummer for Judas Priest.\n', '

Previously working for Eric Burdon, Binks was a drummer on the 1974 Roger Glover album The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper\'s Feast. The album project began as a soundtrack for an animated film based on a well-known English children\'s book, but a promo for the film never gained any interest, so the project was scrapped. Glover went on to release the soundtrack as a "Roger Glover and Friends" title. One of the featured vocalists, Eddie Hardin, later released his own albums, the first of which was 1976\'s Eddie Hardin\'s Wizard\'s Convention, which again included Binks on drums.\n', '

Binks played for the band Fancy who had two U.S. hits in 1974 with a cover of "Wild Thing", and "Touch Me".\n',…
