Our little journey through time continues....
Entered destination of our time machine: Los Angeles 1961
If you like the nostalgic and (early 60s) BLAINEsque drum-sound of (our hero) Hal (150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one) you will enjoy the "WRECKING DRUMS". Inspired by THE legend, we tried very hard to emulate the entire chain.
— Hal Blaine (born Harold Simon Belsky; February 5, 1929 – March 11, 2019) was an American drummer and session musician,[1] estimated to be among the most recorded studio drummers in the history of the music industry, claiming over 35,000 sessions[1] and 6,000 singles. His drumming is featured on 150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one.
Born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, Blaine moved with his family to California in 1943 and subsequently began playing jazz and big band music before taking up rock and roll session work. He became one of the regular players in Phil Spector's de facto house band, which Blaine nicknamed "the Wrecking Crew". Some of the records Blaine played on include the Ronettes' single "Be My Baby" (1963), which contained a drum beat that became widely imitated, as well as works by popular artists such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, the Carpenters, Neil Diamond, and the Byrds.[2]
Blaine's workload declined from the 1980s onwards as recording and musical practices changed. In 2000, he was among the inaugural "sidemen" inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in 2007 he was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum as a member of the Wrecking Crew, and in 2018 he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
