Roger Palm

Drummer Roger Palm was a member of Swedish bands the Gimmicks and then the Beatmakers, and started working on the session circuit in 1970.

Roger Palm made his first known appearance on an ABBA-related session at the same time as bass player Mike Watson, on a Frida single produced by Benny in 1971.

The first ABBA track Palm appeared on was Rock’n’Roll Band, recorded in August 1972. Ola Brunkert is the drummer who appeared on most ABBA tracks, but Roger Palm played on such noteworthy songs as Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Thank You For The Music and Take A Chance On Me.

In September 2024, Roger passed away at the age of 75.
