  Alan White - Biography - AOL Music
White passed through the lineups of a lot of short-lived late-'60s outfits including Ginger Baker's Airforce (playing some keyboards there as well), where he was in the unfortunate position of working alongside legendary drummer Phil Seaman, who managed to eclipse his younger colleague at every turn.
For the most part, however, White became the bedrock of the group's sound during the turbulent late-'70s era, when Yes was struggling with membership changes and the end of the progressive rock boom, which reduced their sales and audience.
Indeed, it was White's breaking his ankle (at a roller-disco, no less) in late 1979 that precipitated the momentary end of the band that year, amid a disastrous attempt at recording a new album.

George "Alan" Dawson was born in 1929 in Marietta, Pennsylvania and raised in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood.
Alan always felt that coordination was good to have, but when taken to extremes it could set up rhythmic interference instead of keeping the groove going.
Alan once stated that, "The difference between jazz and other music is like the difference between marching and dancing - marching is done on the heels and dancing is done on the toes.

 Drummerworld: Alan White
In a way it was neither musician's fault — Bruford was considered, after Carl Palmer, the hottest drummer in England, while White had, in the public's perception, played in a few highly visible bands and gigs without a lot of acclaim.
He gravitated toward the drums, however, and at age 12 he got his own drum kit from his uncle, who was also a drummer.
By the spring of 1972, he was increasingly eager to move on to other vistas, and finally left officially on July 19, 1972.

 Alan White Interview
A lot of drummers with brothers who are also drummers would probably say, 'He had nothing to do with it', but he was a big inspiration for me. I think he is the governor when it comes to drumming, he's fantastic.
Alan hasn't done the jazzer bit to the same extent as his brother, but with the relative simplicity of the Oasis gig has come an urge to get back into the, let's say, more cerebral side of drumming as well.
Of all Alan's drum parts on Morning Glory, one of the highlights has to be his work on the blinding 'Wonderwall' (which most certainly plays a major part in the overall composition).
