Gear List from Jeff:
I’ve been using the same Oaklawn Camco maple-shell drums for the last 30 years or so. I've been using Vic Firth sticks for most of my professional musical life, changing the models only a couple of times during that entire time. The Oaklawns are from the early ’60s.
Depending on the music or the size of the bands, I choose from:
Bass Drums:
18 x 14 and 20 x 14 (Oaklawn, Illinois)
Tom:
10 x 9, 12 x 8, 14 x 14, 16 x 16
(all Oaklawn, Illinios except for the 10” tom which is a DW]
Snares:
-14 x 5 Camco (Oaklawn, Illinios)
-14 x 5 Camco (Chanute, Kansas)
-14 x 5 Johnny Craviotto Lake Superior snare single ply of
bird’s-eye maple.
-14x6 Yamaha bamboo proto-type barrel shell
Normally the top drum heads are Remo Fyberskyns though with the Craviotto I’ll use a calf skin head. The bottom heads are clear Remo Diplomats.
Cymbals:
5 old 20” Ks (from the '40s and '50s)
some 20” and 22" prototypes from Zildjian made for me
2 Istanbul Agop 30 year Anniversary 20"
3 old 18” Ks (from the '50s)
13” old K for the top hat ('50s) and a 14” Paiste Sound Creation for the bottom.
Most of the hardware is Yamaha. I’ve used this same hardware for about 30 years.
Percussion kit:
(The drum set used on Time's Tales, on Okeh Records) is made up of drums and percussion pieces from all over the world: India, South America, Pakistan, Europe, China, North Africa, and South Africa. The snare is from North America. The cymbals are Turkish. The bells are from Tibet as well as from Maine.

His story about Ray Charles just solidifies the fact that the last era of Jazz had great musicians/bandleaders who were also explosive and had reputations for being angry and unapproachable.
haha yeah ^^
yes
