DEBUT | 1978 |
The Vile Bunch Drummer is a creature that makes his only appearance on The Muppet Show as a member of Alice Cooper's band, The Vile Bunch, in episode 307. He appears to be a combination of a shark, a bird, and a snake.
The unnamed drummer performed his signature instrument in the songs "Welcome to My Nightmare" and "School's Out," in addition to performing vocals alongside Blue Frackle in the UK Spot "Once a Year Day."
He also appeared in the episode's Cold Open, as well as backstage, where he ignored Gonzo's plea for a pen with which to sign the Devil's contract.
