Hello
Can anyone tell me what Drums Gege Di Giacomo played. Here is a great clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuPVVeA8630&feature=related

I thought he would be using Italian drums like Meazzi Hollywood, but I do not think they are.

I have just been told that he is using ALBERTI drums in this clip. Not 100% sure if that is correct. Anyone know?

I was also told he did switch to Meazzi Hollywood sets in the 60s.

Very cool clip !

I would have to bet the bank that he had old UFIPs of some sort....maybe Zanchis or Ajahas or Bellottis, or the pyramid-stamp UFIPs ...something like that back then.
All Italian-made, most in the Pistoia area....

Impossible to tell from the video.

Gege was a big fan of Louis Bellson.

Anyone played Alberti Drums?
