Not another!!! Yesterday, the great Hal Blaine passed away at the age of ninety. Man, that rock'n'roll band in the sky keeps getting better and better!

I recall as a kid I'd read the writing credits, liner notes, etc on everything and would see Hal's name and think "man, this dude gets around". I think I first saw his name on a Partridge Family LP.

Interesting you should say he "gets around" because he was on that tune too.

I think he may have also done the drumming for "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies but, I'm not positive. You're so right, Dan! He got around!!! Was Glen Campbell one of the members of The Wrecking Crew? I believe I came across that somewhere.

That is correct. Campbell was in. He died last year at 81 or so. He also was quite a bit younger that Blaine. I remain amazed at Blaine's age.

The movie "The Wrecking Crew" is on Hulu. I watched it Monday night when I heard that he had passed away. He made the music I grew up with.
1971 Ludwig Rock Duo set in Blue Oyster Pearl
early Mapex dual bass drum Saturn kit
1964 Leedy Ray Mosca kit in Blue Sparkle
1959 Slingerland Super Gene Krupa snare in WMP
1968 Slingerland Hollywood Ace Snare Drum
1969 and 1977 Ludwig 400 Supraphonic snares
1965 Acrolite snare
Ludwig Coliseum snare
'68 Rogers Dynasonic snare
Pearl free floating piccolo snare
13" Mapex piccolo snare
6.5" deep Mapex steel snare
Mapex 6.5" Brass snare
I know there's more snares than that.
UFIP cymbals / Avedis Zildjians
Ghost pedals or Tama King Beats
