Alex van Halen playing a Super Classic (pic)

Loading...

Found this vintage picture of Alex van Halen playing what appears to be a Ludwig Super Classic, wonder what VH album it was being recorded on by any chance?

Actually, that's Manupa Kona, the cliff diver. That photo has caused his family so much grief. He's a very good diver, a pretty good surfer, and a marginally practical drummer.

It looks to be an image of a simple practice session or possibly one of the Mammoth/VH house parties from back in the day.

This was reportedly the kit he used in the studio to record VH1 and the supporting tour:

(my apologies for the big picture)
