Ronnie Tutt's drum-set!

Howdy!!

We all know that when they started in Las Vegas, Ronnie didn't have a big drum-set, but over the years it got bigger!
So.. when was Ronnie Tutt's drum-set biggest?

When he felt really, really good?

Yay Ronnie Tutt!

I gotta say...Ronnie's one of my favorite drummers. One of the things I like about the mix on MSG is that I can hear his playing. Great energy for Elvis, and there is just enough slack in his playing that he can create a great groove and still make it loose. And, I like the drum set, too!

Young elvisjock is in that crowd. June 26, 1976.

That's a great memory.

Lucky you!

That's a great pic OP..

It's easy to see when Ronnie had the biggest drum kit. To me, it had to be after late 1973-74 when he started using the different color of Ludwig drumset instead of the blue sparkle set he had used in films like EOT and "Aloha From Hawaii".

Ron Tutt drum kits:

Gold sparkled kit - 3 top toms July-August 1969

Black kit - various top toms Most of Aug-Sept Las Vegas Season 1970

Sparkled blue Ludwig kit - 2 top toms Late Aug-Sept Las Vegas 1970 + Sep & Nov 1970 Tours

Same kit as above + added top toms Jan-Feb Las Vegas 1971 until end of June-July 1974 tour

Silver Ludwig kit with added right hand side top tom Aug-Sep 1974 until end of June 1977

Why did he abandon the TTWII set so quickly? I liked that set.

I gotta say...Ronnie's one of my favorite drummers.

one my my favorites too
