Bruce Gary of The Knack once said he was disappointed to find out that 10 of his favorite drummers were Hal Blaine. The credits are amazing. The Beach Boys, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, The Byrds, The Mamas & The Papas, The Carpenters, The Monkees, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., to name a few. This 60's Ludwig drum kit is referred to by Hal Blaine as "his babies".
