Members Longfuse Posted June 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 From what I understand, the clip is from a 1965 film called Gonks Go Beat...but don't quote me on that. All Brit session/jazz players of the time. I recognise some of the names, though not the faces. A bit of googling will be required... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members k7mto Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 Cool. With those outfits and colors it has a Star Trek feel to it. Some of those snare angles are severe and it looks like the one guys mounted tom came loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marko46 Posted June 1, 2009 Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 That was killer! Thanks Longfuse! Gotta agree with k7mto, very severe snare angles, but the dude with the tom is probably a father or grandfather to a future CL poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Longfuse Posted June 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 Background on some of the drummers: http://www.bobbygraham.co.uk/bobbygraham/bobhome.htmhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1583715/Allan-Ganley.htmlhttp://www.angelfire.com/mac/keepitlive/drummers/Verrell/verrell.htmhttp://www.skidmore.edu/~gthompso/grtdata/Sessioneers/index.htm Re snare angle (facing forward and higher on right for trad grip), that setup was pretty common prior to the 1960s. Even a lot of Rock and Roll drummers (wanna-be jazzers) adopted it, if vids and photos are anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Longfuse Posted June 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2009 The sound files in that last link are worth listening to. Especially the detail on the recording of Love Me Do. Interesting comments on the quality of Ludwigs later on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That angling is pretty normal for traditional grip players - we used to set our snares like that in school concert/symphony band, and the marching drums were always angled too, but never as severe as some of those guys had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
