Maybe I was the only one that didn't know this, but starting to read Zappa's biography I learned he started out playing the drums. His parents bought first set for $50. I found this picture out on the intertoobs.

Really I. Think I remember seeing him in a kit at electric playground
April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
