I never forgot how outstanding Floyd was 8/1/70 at the War Memorial, Rochester NY. Being there was special.

I was lucky enough to be in a small venue with 25 people in a small room with Floyd Sneed playing at a school charity -it was unreal to hear the percussion-- so good. Floyd Sneed -a supernatural talent and a very approachable kind human being. I have tears just writing this. Rest in Peace.

By the way, buddy rich was NOT The last person to play that kit….I WAS! It happened like this a day or two before a milestone anniversary for Pro Drum was celebrated at the Hollywood Palladium. Stan gave me this drum set to take home to my house in Van Nuys to clean and polish it so it would look nice for the ceremony I think it was for the 50th or 60th ceremony or something like that,.. anyway I took that buddy rich set home, and I duly cleaned and polished the kit until it was gleaming. Then I thought myself “this is the last set that buddy rich played”?!… anyway long story short I said to myself HMM…. I’m gonna set this drum set up in my drum room and play it myself for a couple of hours which I did! I have photos and everything after a couple of hours I took the set apart did some final touchup work on the chrome, and I polished it up real nice……real nice… next day took the drums over to the Hollywood Palladium Hollywood Palace whatever they call it now set the drums up and they were on display for the entire anniversary celebration therefore, I am technically the last person to play that buddy rich set!!! that Slingerland drum set that was the last set buddy played on and I was the last person after him since the drum set went on display at Pro Drum permanently after buddy played it anyway…. a little bit of knowledge that a nobody like me has some connection to buddy. Also, I have buddy’s slippers that that my teacher FRED GRUBER gave me.

I’ve Been coming to professional Drum shop since 1965 when Bob Yeager and Chuck Molinari ran the place I was 14 years old I’m 73 now and I still come to Pro Drum. Love Stan and Jerry and Tommy!!! love Pro Drum I miss Bob Yeager and Chuck professional Drum shop should be awarded California historical landmark status, it’s been in business since 1959 when Bob opened it and it’s still going strong God bless Pro Drum from Neal Sausen and AKRON, Ohio! by the way, their Christmas parties are legendary legendary. Every top name in the PERCUSSION business would show up at the Christmas parties that Bob and Chuck inaugurated and Stan and Jerri are keeping the tradition alive just sayin!

They use to have a drum set on a riser just above the front door of the Shop on the outside. That was really cool! I still have the Gretsch set 24 inch bass drum I bought there in 1998! Best Drum Shop ever!

Stan, Jerry and the staff are the best. Their service, knowledge and inventory are unmatched by the chain stores. I drive over 80 miles round trip to shop at Pro Drum Shop. I could have my purchases shipped but would miss the friendly conversation and new product arrivals. Do your self a favor and visit the shop when you are in LA.

I am so glad I found this. I'm refinishing a "Levon" kit I made up of marchers. The rack tom is a 13" cub snare. I was planning on using a router but I'm glad I found this!

It was my extraordinary good fortune to study with Joe @ Lepak's drum shop in Hartford, CT!!! I never met Jeff, but so great to listen to the Maestro's stories.He was an incredibly generous and gifted teacher and force in the music world.As one of Joe's students, I was also the lucky recipient of Miles Davis' 'Bags Groove' album as a learning tool!!.. Joe was such a great man, an outstanding teacher, father and all around wonderful guy... and it's no surprise that Jeff rose to the greatness he did as a drummer.

Like a shrine.Great story from your "hood". Years ago there was a Standard Brands paint store across the street from you pretty much next to the Musicians Union. On a hot Sunday day I'm loading my paint when I hear what sounds like the worlds largest juke box -- really loud wailing Big Band music is blasting out of an open door-- so I move closer and all these little street urchin kids mostly Hispanic but some White and Asian kids from the neighborhood are crowding around the open door and are really digging the big band. Jumping around, jitterbugging and just gyrating to the world class huge big band music being played by top notch Union musicians. Wish I'd had a camera -- talk about music bringing folks/types together...what a cool memory.
