I recently touched base to follow up up on some records with one of the greatest talents in this industry, a class guy from A-Z, and one of The Definitive Pro's.....Ron Otis (KEM, Aretha Franklin, Earl Klugh).
I heard from Ron many years ago after he inquired about the 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14. That drum, along with his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 & 5.5 x 15, were used on numerous records and tours. I have always been so thrilled about that. Any time any Musician selects your instrument for their work....That is the supreme compliment...Without verbalizing it.
I am a massive KEM fan, and the fact that my drums are on his records will forever be special to me. Another one of the definitive moments through the years for me as well is his solo record: Stay In Your Lane. All records are special, but this one is a big stand out to me. This record is Magical. Every single Musician on this record is incredible, the arrangements/composition are incredible, the Musicianship is beyond belief. I refer back to this record often, and like any Artistic work of this magnitude...There is something new you hear every single time.
So great to chat with you Ron. Thank You for all of the years of support. As always, so hoping to see you sometime out there! Happy New Year to you & your beautiful family.....
