It's funny. The one constant with the band, Canned Heat over their very troubled history, much of it filled with self-inflicted injuries, has been drummer, Fito de la Parra. Ironically, I believe the clip you showed had original drummer, Frank Cook behind the pads. (Frank went on to be the drummer for Pacific Gas & Electric.) As for Cream: Do these guys really like each other?
Regarding your last question, Baker once pulled a knife on Bruce and Bruce once threw a guitar at Baker's head. The two had fistfights:

I doubt, though, that they'd behave like this now.
