Albert Bouchard (drummer, Soft White Underbelly) : That was my drums that he declined to play on... I said it'd be a great honour for you to use my drums... but he said "No, no thank you very much"... I wanted to see Ringo with Hendrix, that would've been awesome, right? And after everybody left, Teddy Slatus, the house manager of the Scene, came over to me and said "You know why Ringo didn't want to play your piece of shit drums? Because they're just crap!! You need some new drums."
