    Episode 58 - Roy Burns (Benny Goodman, The Tonight Show, Aquarian Drumheads)

    Roy Burns was an American born drummer and percussion manufacturer who sadly passed away back in 2018. He would have been 89 years old this week, so to celebrate all things Roy and thank him for years of personal inspiration I decided to use an unpublished/archived interview that I had done with him many years ago for episode #58 of the podcast. Roy was the second person to grace the cover of the world famous Modern Drummer magazine and rose to fame playing with artists like Benny Goodman and Woody Herman before eventually becoming the house drummer for television standards like the Tonight show and the Merv Griffin Show. Eventually (in 1980) after leaving the Tonight show, he went on to start the Aquarian drum head company alongside Ron Marquez. A true inspiration to myself and many others throughout the years, I hope that you enjoy this episode. And, if you do, please leave us a rating, review, follow and/or share, thank you.
