Tristan Frederick Allan Fry (born 25 October 1946, London) is a British drummer and percussionist.

Fry began his career by joining the London Philharmonic Orchestra as a timpanist at the age of 17.

Fry was percussionist on the Beatles' "A Day In The Life", contributing timpani to the song's two orchestral climaxes.

From 1979 - 1995 he was the drummer with the progressive rock group Sky[2] with John Williams, Kevin Peek, Francis Monkman, Herbie Flowers and later Steve Gray when Monkman left to pursue other projects.

Fry plays with a variety of British orchestras on an ad hoc basis, including playing timpani with the London Chamber Orchestra at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2011.
