Most people here (The States) say:

Stat-us Quo

Thats why I spelled it the way I did..the correct way of saying it!

Most of them switched to Ludwig and later to DW Lame

But Keith Moon stayed. Nick Mason played Premiers for quite a while.

Update on THE QUO!..

Just went to John Coghlan's website,(www.johncoghlan.com) ,

and he has recently restored either a Black or Blue Oyster kit from the 60's!

I forgot that I emailed him around a year ago,and he told me then that was what he was going to do in his reply ..

I just asked him the sizes of his 70's Black Premier kit he used to have also..

I still have my 70's Gloss Black Premiers I got a few months back...

2 -22" BD's, 12 and 13 mounted ,14 and 16 FT's!

They are almost done! Just need a few new heads,which I will have soon...

Rock On!

I know Nick Mason was mentioned, if not a little glossed over.....remember the back of the Ummagumma album anyone?

Ok....these guys are not rockers, but how about Sam Woodyard (Count Basie) and "Philly" Joe Jones?
