Enjoying this show!

Quick note -- with the early stereo Beatles LPs with the all the drums pushed to one channel, an aspiring drummer could play an LP on a stereo equipped with a turntable and a cassette deck, drum along to the music (with headphones), and overdub his own drum track on by running a live mike into one of the channels, and recording it on the cassette deck. The Beatles without drums in one channel, young drummer's new drum track in the other! I did this so many times as a young'un.

- interesting - ? - Earl Palmer was a tap-dancer - as is often remarked Drumming is like Dancing in that all four limbs are doing different things...
Trivia: Called a 'Trap' set for 'contraption' - because before that nearly every tradition in the world was one person, one drum...
- FourSeasons perhaps makes points of great drums on 'Pop' & things not generally credited w/ great drums ( - I like the Hollies' drummer!)...

He could easily be the most consistently great drummer in the rock world. That dude always delivered remarkable performances throughout all the phases of Deep Purple. Great precision. In addition, his sides with the Maze (pre-Deep Purple) are powerful

Great stuff. I know a few drummers that I will connect to the archive on this show. Such a good exercise for a non-drummer (such as me) to tune in to that aspect.

Personal punk-rock favorite would be John McCarthy of The Alley Cats.
