Paul Testa and I served together in the 1st Armored Division Band in Fort Hood Texas during the early 70’s (Viet Nam War). We have kept up our friendship since. Paul and his lovely wife Dee visited me in Italy in 2006 an he recorded this video of him playing my collection of Billy Gladstone Custom Snare Drums behind my set of Meazzi Hollywood drums (12, 14, 18) and Spizzichino cymbals. He asked that I add the disclaimer “I was plied by Italian wine and not seriously try to make music“. I’ll let you be the judge but he sure impressed me.
