When We're Singin'

Day 11: Brian Forster, Our Favorite Drummer!

John MillerComment

During the run of the Partridge Family, young Brian took drum lessons with a personal coach, learning to play each of the songs chosen for use on the video portion of the show. During filming, the coach would be off camera, high on a crane, air-drumming for Brian so he could follow along visually. Brian did such a good job that the directors and editors used many close-ups of him, executing impressive runs on that infamous drum set.

Brian has recently made some signed 14" drum heads available to the fans, exclusive through our website! Special thanks to Brian, and to Gary Strobl for making this happen!
