Another drummer appreciation thread

I was fortunate enough to take drum lessons from one for the best teachers in the city when I was in high school and college, Ray Fransen. There was a surprise celebration for the 40th anniversary of his drum shop in Kenner at South Port Hall. These are all drummers that had a relationship with Ray, whether it was as a student or business association. There's a few notable drummers that attended, Guy Gelso from Zebra, Stanton Moore from Galatic, and Johnny Vidacovich, famous NO drummer who plays with Astral Project. I'm the fourth guy from the left, Ray is in the middle.


Ray’s toupee will forever live in infamy.

Still stop my his store in Kenner, whenever I’m in town, to talk drums w him and Frank.
