I can't tell you, even though I am lucky enough to have one of his kits. All I know is that he was made famous by Hal Blaine- and that's about it. There is virtually no info out there on the web, and I am trying to decide if it's worth hanging onto the kit or if I should get rid of it. If anybody out there has any info or know of a place to get some- let me know. Oh, and unfortunately my snare is NOT a Blaemire- so snare enthusiasts need not bother. Thanks for your help
