Bun E. Carlos (born Brad Carlson, June 12, 1951 in Rockford, Illinois) is the drummer for American rock band Cheap Trick. He is the band's chief setlister and archivist, and maintains recordings of all the band's shows, some of which have been released under the name 'Bun E's Bootlegs'.
Bun E is left-handed, but has alternated between left and right handed playing throughout his career. Carlos has few writing credits, the most notable of which are the drum solo track "Who D'King", from the album All Shook Up and Bun E. in a Box (2004), a drum sample CD.
During the 1990s, he quit smoking, thus losing his trademark dangling cigarette.
