I was thinking about this exchange this morning. I wonder if the inter-
viewer from Modern Drummer isn't making a slight dig against Kenny by
asking this question.
Why? 1. I've *never* heard, or read, *any* comment from *anyone* at *any-
time* saying that Keith Moon may have used one of his bass drums "just
for show." Of course, he doesn't use them in *every* song, but has there
ever been *any* doubt that Moonie uses both bass drums?
