I would have said Buzzy Drootin but apparently not-great though to see Brad Gowans in action and of course a very young Bobby Hackett.
-
Al Sidell,Marty Greenberg,Don Carter ? just clutching at straws.

@jimcftu Buzzy Drootin's son Tony has confirmed that his father is NOT the drummer here!
-
@jimcftu No the mystery is not solved. This is not Buzzy Drootin - young or old.

It's annoying.I thought I knew all Condon's drummers from this period.This guy is too good to be unknown.

@thekrupaman - that is exactly the point! If it were some guy who simply beats away we wouldn't be interested. But this is indeed a superb drummer, young guy, and nobody knows who he is!

The only other drummer i can think of is Johnny Blowers who would have been 27 at this time.

@thekrupaman - Another possibility is Andy Picardi who was also in Hackett's band around this time. His Italian sounding name fits his looks, but until contemporary photos of him (and Blowers) turn up we can't be certain.

the drummer is not Tough or Drootin I reckon it is Danny Alvin.

@thekrupaman Danny A;vin has been suggested before but it isn't him either. Alvin looks different. Besides, he was born in 1902 so he would have been 36 in this film. This drummer is clearly much younger than 36.
