Drum lessons with Larry “The Bucketman” Hunt!

Another thing I thought deserved its own blog post, is the fact that Larry is gives drum lessons for those who are interested in learning. Larry has extensive experience in playing drums not just buckets. Here’s a little bio I picked up from him the other day:

I was born in Leavenwork, Kansas. I started playing drums at the age of 3, and then owned my first drum set at the age of 4. Over the years, I have worked with many top artists and different bands. I also had my own bands, like “Larry Hunt and the Blue Flame band” in the past, and “New Funk Generation” in the present. In 1960, I had my first show with some big name artists such as Brother Jack MacDuff, and Three Sound. In 1966, I played for Senator of Kansas, Senator Reily on television with Christ Unlimited. In 1974, I met Louis Bellson, at the Starlite Theater in Kansas City. Through 1976-79, I played with “The Drifters”, “The Tam’s”, “Round House Band” and “Little Royal” from Georgia, “Pandall” and “Badge” from North Carolina. In 1979, I worked with Larry Sharp and Gregg Lomt trio. In 1983, I drummed in the Black Star Lite Band. In 1986, I joined Intervission from Oakland. In the years between 1989-2002, I met Cool Papa on television with Bay Area Back Roads. I also played with John Lee Hooker, Deacon Jones, Gregg Allmar, Steve Ganna, Al Von Johnson, Rocken Earl Brown, Ron Steward of Blue Society, Lady Margaret and the Gentlemen, Perry Walker, Survival Band and Steppen Stone.
