HAL BLAINE’S DRUMS & PERCUSSION
We are proud to be the curators of famed Los Angeles session musician/Wrecking Crew member, Hal Blaine’s drums and percussion.
We have Hal’s early 1960s Ludwig blue sparkle drums, late 1960s custom made “Monster Set” and his beloved percussion kit. These magical instruments are some of the most recorded items in history! Used on The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds, Love’s Forever Changes, The Byrds, The Mamas and Papas, Phil Spector’s productions, Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, all of the Beatles solo and so many more.
These beautiful instruments are maintained and used at our sessions.
