And Tork was proficient on about eight instruments. These guys were never musical slouches. They simply didn’t come together independently to form a unified sound the way other bands did. Also, it was said that Davy would have been the best drummer, but the producers wanted him out front instead of lost behind a big set of drums.
Thanks for the input. I knew Tork was a musician before the Monkees but couldn’t remember what he played.
Yeah, I was surprised to learn recently that he actually was proficient on drums, but was too short to be seen behind a large drum-set! He also played guitar pretty well too!
