John Charles Edward Alder (born 29 November 1944), also known as Twink, is an English drummer, actor, singer, and songwriter who was a central figure in the English psychedelic and proto-punk movement. He was a member of the Pretty Things from 1967 to 1969, and an occasional member of Pink Fairies, plus several other bands.
In 2006, Alder converted to Islam, and changed his name to Mohammed Abdullah. However, he still records under the name Twink.
