In Memory of Max Roach: Hollywood Meazzi Drum Kit On Wheels

On the last day of the year, we present to you the most unique set in our collection: Max Roach's Hollywood Meazzi, 1960s, aka. 'the kit on wheels'. The 1966 Hollywood Meazzi catalogue proclaimed, "The Hollywood of today is the instrument of tomorrow." The features of these drums caught the interest of prominent jazz artists of the time creating an endorser list that included Max Roach, Connie Kay (with the Modern Jazz Quartet), Jack DeJohnette, Billy Cobham, and Donald Bailey (with Jimmy Smith), plus nearly all the principal drummers in Italy. With a little helpe from our friend Jason Brown, honoring the memory of the legendary drummer Max Roach, we sincerely hope you enjoy our little short film and have a very happy new year! http://rubixdrumstudios.co.uk/
