We are joined by Ben Hilzinger, professional drummer and author of Drummers on Drumming, to explore the stories behind the records that shaped the legends of the drumming world. Ben shares his In this episode, we dive into the fascinating history and evolution of buying and selling drums with special guest Gerry Porter of Hazelshould.

From the dapper beginnings of mom-and-pop drum In this episode, we dive deep into the extraordinary journey of Ryan Dusick, the original drummer for Maroon 5. Then they asked me to play in the first number, but the man from Philips wanted to play. So I just stayed with them. Nobody actually said I was in the group. They were an amazing crowd and they still are.

CC: How long were you with the group? We went through various names, like any group. This phase lasted a long time and at the time there were these legendary fights within the group. Kit first saw us in Harrow, and from there we signed with Kit and Chris. CC: Is it true that when you first started playing the Marquee, fans were paid to come and see the Who?

Kit had an idea to get us into the West End and he wanted to form a nucleus of hardcore Who fans and call them the Hundred Faces. He would give them all a ticket and membership in the Hundred Faces, and make it very exclusive. This was the start of the Marquee sessions. We took the club on a Tuesday night because nothing ever happened on a Tuesday.

We moved in and gave all these free tickets to these staunch supporters of ours from Shepherds Bush. A massive invasion took place with these guys — their chicks and friends and a few people must have wandered in. That was all our London Marquee, and the West End. CC: Had you started breaking equipment then? MOON: We started earlier than that, actually.

It was an accident at the Railway. Pete did it as a mistake. We were very visual onstage with theatrics, and Pete was always swinging his guitar about. One day — whack — the keith moon biography youtube fell off! The drums used to really disintegrate on their own — I hit them so hard. The fittings were designed for dance bands. When you got somebody like me, they just snapped off.

My whole style of drumming changed when I joined the band. Before, I had just been copying straight from records, but with The Who I had to develop a style of my own. I took [the idea] from Gene Krupa with all the stick twiddling and thought it was great. The sticks used to fly out of my hands because I was sweating like a pig. All these things had an effect on the audience.

There was a lot of raving going on in the States, but over here the ravers were outnumbered by the Shadows-type nice groups. It was released about the time Pete started getting into writing. He had written a couple of things before, but now he had bought a pen and paper because we could afford it. We borrowed the money from Kit because we thought he was a millionaire.

Chris Stamp had to go and work on films to keep us. CC: When did you start playing outside of London? Each group had about three minutes. It was one number and off. We invariably got into trouble for over-running and being generally nasty. CC: Were you having trouble with record companies at this time? MOON: One always is. The record companies are strange.

There were hassles everywhere. A lot of it was pointless. CC: When did you first go to America? MOON: That was much later. Kit had some connections in Paris and we did a couple of shows over there [in ]. That was the first time we ever went abroad. I remember Kit taking me to a bistro and I threw up all over the drums. CC: Were you ever a mod?

Everybody was generally scruffy except John. We wore jeans and T-shirt gear basically. Pete would always wear comfortable clothes. CC: You were always looked on as being an arrogant, nasty bunch. MOON: We were. We were very nasty, and still are. CC: Were you living on pills or was that a publicity gimmick? MOON: It was true. We had amazing things.

MOON: Yes. He used to take a theater for two weeks and out on as many shows a day as he could possibly fit in. There was a minimum of four with the first starting at in the morning. You could never leave the theater because you never knew when the next one was. We had eight minutes and it was insane. We always ran overtime, but the reaction we got was amazing, because we were into smashing everything up.

He became an acquaintance with Daltry. When staying in Toronto we ran into Moonie in the Hotel elevator. Invited him up to our room. Bouncing off beds and could hardly sit still. It was a fast entrance. Stayed for about 10 minutes and left just as quick. Search uDiscover Music. Features Latest News.
