Drum sets of the 1920's were quite basic, comprising mostly of a snare drum, bass drum, cowbells, woodblocks and china tom tom. The cymbals were often a rim mounted clanger and/or lowboy hats plus a small cymbal for crashes and choke effects. The drums were also often the centre piece of the new 'Jass' or 'Jazz' outfits and the Brtitish Dance Bands consequently some of the drummers became a little more flamboyant in their style of playing than they had previously. Consequently in this video I have a lot of fun slightly emulating the playing of those early kit players .

This kit  is a lovely little Premier Popular set from around 1928 which has a charming cat painting on the bass drum with the band's name painted around it, The KIT - KAT DANCE BAND. It was was possibly used by Mr Len Lees who was the drummer with 'Arthur Rosebury & his Kit Kat Dance Band', which was making records between 1928 & 1932. Thet may also have played at the Kit Cat Club in London at some point.

I hope you enjoy this little excursion into 1920's drumming and don't forget to like and subscribe. Thank you, Sticks.
