Ron Tutt - Getting The Elvis Gig

[@captainbeastazoid7084]

Ronnie Tutt was the best. Was watching some of Elvis' 70s gigs and noticed how good the drummer was and then started looking up these interviews. Great stuff. RIP

Ron Tutt, one of the best!

[@walliegirl2]

Ronnie is great. My favorite drummer is Keith Moon. My second favorite drummer is Bill Martinez, Marty Robbins drummer in the 70's.

I met Ronnie at a NAMM show in Nashville in 94 . He and I were at the TAMA booth , I was checking out a new set of Starclassics . He told me , man your awesome . We wound up going down the elevator with Elvin Bishop for a smoke break . Couldn't smoke inside. I don't think he smoked but I did . We talked a long time , he was a very down to earth guy. Miss him . Elvin was too .

RIP Ronnie...

Ronnie Tutt one of the very best.

[@tracylasseter1285]

I got to run sound for Ron on a few occasions, I am being honest when I say I did not know his legacy. But he was skilled, soft-spoken, polite, and told me I made some of the best monitor mixes he's ever had. And I can die happy knowing that. RIP Ron, you gentleman.

I refer to Ronnie as King Tutt! He was a remarkably gifted drummer as Elvis was remarkably gifted Vocalist. God bless you both!

This man belongs in the Rock Hall of Fame. He's done so much with so many artist that wanted him to play for them. That alone should tell you he IS one of the greatest drummers of all time.

[@CapstoneTider]

Ronnie is a drummer's drummer.

[@Ivearted]

😎👍👍

[@davidallen541]

Also Neil Diamond's long time drummer after he was finished with Elvis.

[@JavierMartinez-jn7ik]

Porque siempre iba con gorra...?

[@ROCKINGMAN]

It's subjective, but for me a good drummer doesn't just play to the rhythm and dominate the band. Some of the best session musicians, such as Elvis used, play on various beats, syncopated, make it interesting. Tutt was a great drummer.

[@frederf69]

rip RT!! all of those guys are dead now, but Alex Acuna played with Elvis too i believe

[@marc8vino]

I never knew Alex Acuna played with Elvis. I'll have to check it out. Thanks. Yes, RIP Ronnie. I met DJ a few times and had some nice conversations with him. All those guys seemed very nice.

[@James.G.Ireland]

James Burton & Glen Hardin are still living

[@James.G.Ireland]

​@marc8vino not either the tcb band

[@Heidi_Bradshaw]

James Burton and Glen Hardin are still with us. I was lucky enough to see James play in London earlier this year. Absolutely fantastic.

[@cruisersism]

I wonder how much they were paid.

[@MrMjolnir69]

Standard Union rates. Couple of exceptions prbly. Peanuts in other words. But Elvis was a generous sort. Apparently! Don't forget he got paid Union rates for the movies .........
