Interesting thought for sure and glad you liked her work.

It reminds me that she did paint a set that I built with shells from Precision Drum Company quite a few years back, but it didn't become end tables. Someone liked it and bought it.

I had built a few sets at that time, and as I recall, one ended up with the drummer for the Megawatt Blues Crushers, but in a clear over maple finish. He seemed to like 'em.

Some time back, I reported what I now believe to be an error regarding the set Dennis Wilson was playing in the Lost Concert from 1964.

I had indicated that you Gretsch guys should check out the Swivomatic mounts on his Gretsch set. But I was wrong. That is a Rogers set with B&B, and I even think I want to place a second view of the sizes as being 20,12,14,14 with the 13 Gretsch added to the right-hand side by means I can't determine from the video.

But the 12 is clearly on a single Swivomatic mount. Earlier I had speculated all Gretsch with a 20,12,13,16,16 layout. But we know that with time he was moving to the 20,12,14 configuration seen with his Camcos that did have swivomatic and knobby hardware.

My guess is that he added the 13 Gretsch tom from an earlier kit he had that is definitely a Gretsch Bop kit of 20,13,16 variety. Those were very popular at the time. In the Surfin' Safari vid on Youtube, you can see the set and the band doing the lip sync thing that was so common to television at that time.

This is when David Marks was first in the group and the vid features him playing the nice guitar solo/lick rather than Carl. Funny too that Mike, who is usually so confident, looks a bit shell shocked. But they were all obviously very young at that juncture.

Oh... I thought it was a gretsch too, so the beavertails must have first come out in 64 then. Ive heard late 63/early 64... It was probably 20, 16, 14, 13, 12, and 14 snare.

Art just pure art!!. drums rule !!!
