I just learned today that Roger Taylor is credited on percussion on Al Stewart's 1973 "Past, Present and Future" album (notable for the classic Roads To Moscow) - which isn't entirely surprising, as the album's producer was John Anthony. link
Anyone know which track(s) he's on?
ultimatequeen.co.uk/roger-taylor/songs/collaborations-1.htm says
"Roger is believed to play drums on this track, and potentially others on the album, but nobody is entirely sure."
In the booklet of the cd are mentioned 2 percussionists (Frank Ricotti and Roger Meddows Taylor), so it's hard to know who played what without additional details.
I think he plays on Roads To Moscow
Roger was asked about this somewhere, maybe a fan club magazine Q&A. He said he didn’t remember what he played on. There seems to be a consensus that he played on Roads To Moscow.

That'd be pretty amazing, if true.
But what gives you that inclination?
Simply, someone said that Roger played in that song and since I can't deny it, I tend to believe it.
The truth is that any percussionists can play that bass drum and tambourine in that way.
