Steve’s Videos
In this section I’ll post some videos of favorite sets of mine and also some links to YouTube videos of famous drummers whose legacy should remain current for new generations.
Some history and a video for you. Ludwig kit used by Steve Jordan at Fame studios in Muscle Shoals, home of The Swampers. Check it out.
Scope out this video. A little history to speak about the great studio players who were responsible for so much great music. This one touches on The Swampers, who held court at the world famous Fame studio in Muscle Shoals. https://youtu.be/SSC5ArTNgsg?si=crKL938kd5TfHr9k

Gretsch Dealer Spotlight for our shop, with Nick D’Virgilio.
I had the great pleasure last summer of sitting with Nick and talking about all things Gretsch, and also talking about my experiences over the years. I am also very thankful for the kind words from all of the people who commented on this video. Very much appreciated. Hope you enjoy it! Steve https://youtu.be/hg5T9SM_JuY?si=UnKN-qwpYZpcEPng
Steve’s Videos: The “greatest of all time”; Gene (his Gladstone snare!), Buddy, and Louie (their wood Dynas). Their snare drums played side by side.
Update 1/11. I had the wrong video linked. Fixed now. Enjoy! This video is one that I loved making. It was such an honor to be able to make this video and to play these snares from three of the world’s most talented and influential drummers. Gene and Buddy’s snares have gone to new homes, but Louie’s remains in my personal collection. Over 400,000 people have seen this video. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/LysrNyjSRfI?si=CjvKBbXtIutgM3Pr
Steve’s Videos. A Slingerland set used by Buddy Rich for a one show in IL in the 70s. Cool set with a great back story.
You’ll enjoy the story behind this one. Check out the video for the story and some playing on this set. Killer set that has gone to a new home. https://youtu.be/Ob1gO0o-UjA?si=ZXbswgkxK6F47oHg
Steve’s videos. Craviotto kit #1 and #1000.
Here’s a great video that pays tribute to Johnny’s work. You’ll see and hear the very first set, #1, which is 9x13, 16x16, 14x22 and 5.5x14, and then we top it off with a historically significant set, #1000, which was made entirely from 600 year old Timeless Timber birch. This is the only complete Craviotto set ever made from Timeless Timber. Johnny made snares, but wood wide enough for an entire kit was exceedingly rare. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/DRDqBlBafPA?si=ils4eU5gSGXLGh
