  • hal blaine is king!

  • @stevebul He has double bass drums so i guess he wanted it that way he had another set with a ridiculous amount of drums

  • I wonder if that;s a real drum setup that is shown on the album cover, very strange if it is, almost looks unplayable to have the toms so far apart.

  • Spliting drum rhythms within themselves is as much fun as splitting mathematical fractions. GREAT! Thanks for this post!

  • GENIUS!!

  • Those with enough true interest in Motown, google "lost my athletic scholarship after participating in the civil rights sit-in". This is from that page about Frank Wilson of Motown (& note "regulars"): "The[...] musicians for [a particular late '65 Motown session] were pulled from the studio regulars that included Billy Strange, Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine, Al De Lory, Carol Kaye and Tommy Tedesco.[...] As far as it can be established the tapes were dispatched to Detroit [in] November 1965[....]"

  • Yeeessssss! Hal, we love you, my man.

  • For people interested in Los Angeles & Motown, some questions fair-minded person can ask themselves. These are _Qs_, so anyone giving this post a thumbs down or removing it would be opposed to people asking these Qs (hmmmmm).

    Does the Supremes' "The Happening" sound like HB?

    Did JJ use a pick?

    Is a pick audible on the Four Tops' "Eleanor Rigby"? Who may have played bass on it?

    Same Qs, Stevie's "Respect"?

    Same, B. Holloway's "Just Look What You've Done"?

    Where has BH said the last was recorded?

  • Hal Baby, You're the man! I love Ya Dude! Your drumming was so hip and full of soulful grooviness it's just a pleasure to hear your work! Thanks for the Hits!AWESOME!!

  • sounds awesome. very inspirational.
