The hit maker strikes again! Turned out Hal was ALL of my top 10+ favorite drummers in my youth as he was on THE hits with Sinatra, Elvis, Ronettes, Herb Albert & Tijuana Brass, Beach Boys, Mama's & Papa's, Simon & Garfunkel, The Byrds, Cher, The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, John Denver, Captain & Tennille to name just a few. Check out The Wrecking Crew documentary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59891f25e58c6279ad2a1c22/1519250934661-N6L70CBWQPS9U021TB5B/BuddyRich.JPG Autographs Fortunate to see the late great Buddy Rich in Ohio (84/85) before he passed. He was truly a master and made a huge impression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59891f25e58c6279ad2a1c22/1519251160694-C0TSI627GYRNWEPDHQVO/SteveGadd.JPG Autographs Steve Gadd, a true example of a versatile drummer. Steve seems to know how to navigate the most complex music or the seemingly simple with ease. Gadd's a kind, encouraging presence, who blended his marching drumming with new ideas to create his own voice while influencing countless musicians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59891f25e58c6279ad2a1c22/1519251290079-ZZAMMW7A5ZTZDAPYCICN/TonyWilliams.JPG Autographs The late great Tony Williams who burst onto the scene at 17, in 1963 with Miles Davis. Innovator, composer, bandleader and mercurial to say the least. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59891f25e58c6279ad2a1c22/1519251058408-YOFPM32N8XMFS3XRF50Y/ElvinJones.JPG Autographs Saw Elvin Jones twice at Jazz Alley in Seattle in 2003. Impressive physical and spiritual presence. Only a few drummers actually create a new vocabulary on the instrument, Elvin was one for sure! His work with Coltrane is revolutionary and then he went on to be a bandleader, mentor and composer as well. https://www.parsonsdrums.com/read-me-encore daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377710645188-W6F7VW5TN6XZ26N626WB/Darren+Bridgett+%2820130828%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377710441515-L3YD83X83ELBMUJHKA5F/The+Collective+Quarterly+%2820130828%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377787389525-6YIGWYZ7Y1R2VXYGXYWO/Olasky+%26+Sinsteden+%2820130829%29.jpg Read Me
