Name The Drummer

[Dave Heim]

Anybody doing the "Name the Drummer" contest from Cascio Interstate?  I was about to pitch the catalog into the recycling bin a couple of days ago when I decided on a whim to see how many drummers (on the cover) I could identify out of 53.  I have one left (#43)!  I'm not really a contest guy - but its been fun.

Here's an idea; Lets do that kind of thing on here. Someone posts a picture of a drummer, and the next person answers who it is and posts another picture. I'll start.

One of my favorites:

Chad Smith poking himself in the eye with a drumstick.

EDIT:  It's certainly not my call, but this might not be a very 'bandwidth friendly' thread.  :)

Wow. Some of those photos are old. Billy Cobham looks about 30!

Yeah, some are from odd angles, too.  Interesting exercise.

Yeah, I submitted that.  I had about 4 that I couldn't name.  I found a few by scrolling through drummerworld.com!  Who are the ones on either side of Mangini? 

EDIT:  I dug mine out.  I missed more than I thought.  The ones I didn't get are #43, 53, 45, 10, 3, 6, and 40.

#53 is Glenn Kotche.  #45 is Sonny Emory.  #3 is Chris Hesse.  #6 is Richie Flores.   The rest I'm not positive of.  I believe #10 is Tony Verderosa and #40 looks to me like it might be JoJo Mayer, but its a weird angle so I'm not sure.  #43 is a mystery.  I thought maybe it was Evelyn Glennie (or maybe Rod Morgenstein with eyeliner!), but I don't think so.  :)

Thanks Dave.  I should have gotten Kotche and EMory.  The others I wouldn't have gotten.  I'll have to google those 2.  Man, I don't see #40 as JoJo!  Yeah no clue with #43, I made a "WAG" with Vera Figeuredo for that one. 

[Dave Heim]

Yeah, I was thinking it looked a little like Vera, too.  I went back and forth between her and Evelyn Glennie and ended up thinking its not either of them.  If anyone wants to wager a guess, we're looking at mystery drummer/percussionist #40 and #43 from here:

I still can't stop thinking it looks a little like Morgenstein with eyeliner!  :)  And frankly, that's creeping me out.

40 looks like robby ameen to me. 43 is really tough. my first thought was sylvia cuenca, but the person in the pic looks a bit older. maybe a straight-haired sue hadjopoulos? mmmm. probably not.

a puerto rican chrissie hynde? an italian kristy mcnichol? lol!

i'm stumped!

I'm beginning to think #43 is a gal from the art department at Interstate!   :)

[Stewart Manley]

It looks a little like Cathy Rich.

ya think?

i was just looking through a cathy rich photo gallery and she doesn't look anything like that. and i didn't know she was a drummer.

cool that!

[Dave Heim]

I think #43 will forever remain a mystery!  That's a tough one!
