Hi all,

My first drum set at age 13 was a white Remo Acousticon kit that, my father was told at the garage sale he bought them from, had belonged to the drummer for the Woody Herman Orchestra. In fact it was 1/2 of a double kick kit; my father only bought the one kick, a 16" FT and 12 & 13" rack toms.

My question is, do any of you know who said drummer may have been? I do believe the pedigree because my dad also bought at that same sale a powered mixer which had "WOODY HERMAN ORCHESTRA" painted upon its road case. My guess is Jeff Hamilton given his Remo affiliation but I can't find photos of him using two bass drums, and I think his Woody Herman gig was before Remo came out with these drums.
