Letterman

For those keeping score, your man Klaus has played drums in many many unpopular and unsignable bands since 1991. I’ve dragged my 1964 Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl 4 piece kit (2nd rack tom not shown) with 1965 Gretsch snare (all of which were purchased in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts for $175) from one end of the earth (the Northeast) to the other (the Midwest mostly) hundreds of times. ‘Tis a gorgeous kit, in phenomenal condition, and I have endured hundreds if not millions of compliments regarding it’s eye-watering beauty. I am a man who appreciates a nice set of drums. And I’m a man who appreciates a man who appreciates a nice set of drums. Therefore, I am a man who appreciates this wonderful compilation video featuring the great David Letterman appreciating his various musical guest’s gear, focusing primarily, but not exclusively, drums.
