I’m a drummer (10+ yrs now) and Dolenz couldn’t even fake it well.

Still enjoyed them though.

Legend has it Davy Jones was a competent drummer but he was small and cute and they didn’t want him stuck behind the drum set. Dolenz was a guitarist but “looked” like a drummer, so they cast him as the drummer and made him learn.

The irony is Davy Jones played the drums and was originally supposed to be the drummer and Dolenz was to be the front man.

But, the producers wanted Davy Jones out front, so they swapped them.

Mickey Dolenz was the only one of the group who had acting experience. He was a boy star, originally appearing in the 50's TV show "Circus Boy"

In the show, he was "Corky", and known by the stage name Mickey Braddock.
