Timeline
Richard John Ploog (born 29 October 1962) is an Australian drummer, songwriter, producer and singer who was a member of rock band The Church between 1981 and 1990.
Richard John Ploog was born on 29 October 1962 and is from Adelaide, South Australia.
As a drummer, he joined various bands including, The Name Droppers, The Brats and Exhibit A. In early 1981, at the age of 18, he replaced The Church's founding drummer, Nick Ward.
In April the band released their debut album, Of Skins and Heart and the associated single, "The Unguarded Moment", which had been recorded late the previous year with Ward.
Ploog's first recording with The Church was the five-track double single, "Too Fast for You" released in July.
When Of Skins and Heart was released internationally (Carrere for Europe, Capitol for North America) it was re-titled as The Church with "Tear It All Away" replacing original track "Fighter Pilot...Korean War".
On early record covers of The Church, Ploog was incorrectly credited with all the drumming—Ward is not listed.

Ploog left The Church after recording their seventh album, Gold Afternoon Fix which was released in February 1990.
According to Steve Kilbey, he left the band "because of musical personal differences."
