Cool video. Now for the challenge ...How many manufacturers, kits and colors can you name? ;)-Tim

There are two mystery kits in there, although they are most likely British.

As the camera sits facing the aisle between the drumkits, Andy White is on the left playing an Ajax Burgundy Ripple Nu Sound kit. On his left is first , Alan Grinley, on a Grey coloured Ripple kit and then John Kearns on a sort of white oyster or zebra kit. I can't determine those two kits although, the first could be Shaftesbury or Rose Morris( maybe it is too early for those?) and the second might be a bullet lug Ajax. I at first thought Sonor, mainly because of the wrap but it doesn't look right.

Bobby Richards is in the right rear on Premier( don't know who is on the Premier kit on the left), Ginger Baker on the gold Ludwigs, Bobby Graham on the Aqua Glitter Trixons and Ronnie Verrell is on the Champagne Sparkle Singerlands.

I think the Alan Grinley kit is also an Ajax Nu Sound in Grey Ripple----the only other ripple finish offered.

A pretty old one. Drum Crazy from 1948's Easter Parade.

Fred playing on an old trap set and miscellaneous drums in a toy store.

This could be the theme song for a few of us that have the drum bug.

Yeah there are quite a few long takes in there without edits of him playing drums and tapping. Would have liked to see him just play some drums!
