Uncle Larry takes a quick break from the big game at halftime to discuss a few of the harmonic ideas that have been racing through his head all day …
You guys would not believe what goes in there…

like for example, when my Cleveland brain puts C major, F major and G major in a blender, it all roughly adds up to a E pentatonic blues smoothie

It almost works over the F chord in this silly loop…almost

You see it?m friends?

On a more important note, we are lucky to be able to witness a football game played at this level friends ..two incredible teams dukin’ it out on prime time television in front of millions of hard working God fearing Americans.

Fall is indeed here my dear Homeskoolers

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Unicorn”

Chapters
00:00 - Setting up Camco drums
02:55 - Playing the drums


Notes
As you may know, your Uncle Larry has always been a major vintage drum enthusiast…I would even venture to say that my knowledge regarding the whole culture of old drums is WAY more than it should be for a guy who can barely play

I’ve been surrounded by great drummers my whole career and they have always been kind enough to answer my endless questions and feed my undying curiosity about old drums and cymbals.

I have owned MANY old kits over the years…several old Ludwig kits...two different 70's Vistalite kits...a couple different 60's blue and black oyster kits...even a really rare ‘69 psychedelic red set that i gave to Joe Vitale years ago to replace the one he regretfully let go of back in the 70's.

i had a beautiful red sparkle 50's round badge Gretsch kit…a 70’s Rogers butcher block kit…an old early 80's Tama kit like Stewart played…you name it friends

But this….this is BY FAR the coolest rarest drum kit I have ever owned.

Circa LA era 1971 Camco 4 piece in natural finish with all the original hardware and matching snare...22-16-13 with matching 5x14 snare

I have only used it in the past with more modern deluxe hardware and pedals...with separate tom holder stands etc etc....but i thought it would be fun to set it up with all the original old school hardware...with the original the bad ass single braced flat cymbal stands and the original Camco bass drum pedal and hi hat stand....as God Intended.

I even have the original weird bass drum ride cymbal mount arm, but we chose not to use it....it's TOO retro.

This kit has no extra holes…no excuses…any drum collector will tell you how difficult it is to find an old Camco kit that hasn't been all monkeyed up...you just never see this stuff.

For example, if you were ever trying to locate one of the original Camco tom mounts like you see here... you would be "shit out of luck" as they say.

Hope you closet drummers out there enjoy the fine playing of young Matty Alger.

Matty is the owner and engineer at The Cabin studio in east Nashville where we recorded most of the “in stereo” album I made with Guthrie Trapp

A fine fella and fantastic musician....i thank him sincerely for helping me set up all this cool old gear for the Bukovac family to enjoy for years to come
