Wow, hadn't seen that for a LONG time.

Thanks for sharing!

I think it gives a whole new meaning to the term, "kick" drum. Hmmm... you don't suppose this is where that term came from??

Yeah... it's been a while since I've seen that as well!

I wonder how they kept the drums in place?

I can't believe I've never seen this.

He puts a lot of drummers to shame...

What a great routine! Those "floor toms" must have been securely nailed to the floor. Love the old knee high "high hats"...they sound super.

Yeah, I do a very similar routine to this when I play. Not quite as fancy though, I don't wear a tux.

Keith Moon used to kick his drums too, but it wasn't as musical.

Thanks for posting it. That was great!
