Paul Ferguson (born Matthew Paul Ferguson, 31 March 1958) is a rock drummer, best known for his work in the post-punk/industrial group, Killing Joke, and cult English punk band, Pink Parts. Ferguson was a founder member of Killing Joke, and was their drummer from 1978 to 1987, and was known as 'Big Paul Ferguson' during this period.
Following disagreements with lead singer Jaz Coleman about new material and the direction the band was going, Ferguson, together with bassist Paul Raven, departed from the band in 1987 to work on other musical projects, notably with rock outfits 'Warrior Soul' and 'Murder Inc.' The last album he recorded with Killing Joke during this period was the 1986 release Brighter than a Thousand Suns.
Ferguson rejoined Killing Joke for their 2008 reunion, which saw the original line-up together for the first time since 1982. Ferguson recorded with Killing Joke for the first time in 24 years for their 2010 studio album Absolute Dissent. He remains with Killing Joke, having drummed on their April 2012 album release MMXII and subsequent tour.
