This is a great shot: relatively rare to get this good a glimpse of a drum kit from this period. This fellow had a relatively elaborate setup. See my notes on the photo.

Wonderful shot, Samm Bennett! Are those your notes above?

None other, lauramorlandrhodes ! But, um... was that a sarcastic comment? I mean, the comments are *signed* and all, so I reckon it's obvious. I'm confused...

At any rate, this fellow made it into my Vintage Drum Kits page, which will be of interest to any old drum fans... www.polarityrecords.com/vintage-drum-kits-1920s-and-30s.html

Often, in around New Orleans, a drummer got by very well, with bass drum, snare, woodblocks, cowbells perhaps.
