Roy Haynes Smithsonian Interview Block 86 (Q5759)

First drum. Good idea. I never had a complete set when I started. I had bits. When I was still in high school, I was working, I think, five nights a week in the Italian section of Boston. We had to play shows there for tap dancers and play for singers. It was just a little trio. Each week I would buy either another cymbal or a tom-tom. I built the set like that.
