1950s Tenor Drummer

Here’s a neat whisky advert from the 1950s: a tenor drummer in full flight – both flourishing and sounding the drum, too.

It strikes me that this fellow represents something of a dying breed: a male tenor drummer. Not sure why that seems to be the way of things.

Regardless, cool advert in all it’s Madison Avenue cheesiness, “May you aye hae a friend; be your fortunes oop [!!] or doon”.

And check out Buddy’s eyebrows! They’re a couple of weeks shy of the butterfly stage.

Cheers,
