Hello and welcome to another episode of Too Stupid to Know I Can’t.  I’m Roger, owner of The Drum Shop in Tulsa, OK. and your host.  This is a special episode of Too Stupid because we get to spend some killer time and conversation with the legendary Bill Detamore of Pork Pie Percussion.  I’ve known Bill for some time and have been an admirer of his work for years only to be fortunate enough to carry his drums in our shop here in Tulsa.

Bill has been working on, refinishing and making drums for over 40 years and has worked with some of the greats including the legendary Jeff Porcarro of Toto.  I ask some “internet myth” questions regarding Pork Pie Percussion to allow him to set the record straight while at the same time delved into some of his drum philosophies while comparing them to my own.

In addition, we speak about the revitalization of Rogers Drums that Bill has been a key player and what that all means to the drumming community.

Finally, we touch on the China/Taiwan scenario that is truly a tenuous situation with many slippery slopes. Costs of manufacturing are on the rise overseas including government mandated minimum wages and benefits for these hardworking employees that are the true unsung heroes of many products we use every day.

So sit back and enjoy our time with Bill Detamore of Pork Pie Percussion – we hope you enjoy this episode of Too Stupid to Know I Can’t as much as I did speaking with a longtime friend.
