Larry "Buckeman" Hunt gives drum lessons for those who are interested in
learning. Larry has extensive experience in playing drums not just
buckets. Here’s a little bio I picked up from him the other day:
I was born in Leavenwork, Kansas. I started playing drums
at the age of 3, and then owned my first drum set at the age of 4. Over
the years, I have worked with many top artists and different bands. I
also had my own bands, like “Larry Hunt and the Blue Flame band” in the
past, and “New Funk Generation” in the present. In 1960, I had my first
show with some big name artists such as Brother Jack MacDuff, and Three
Sound. In 1966, I played for Senator of Kansas, Senator Reily on
television with Christ Unlimited. In 1974, I met Louis Bellson, at the
Starlite Theater in Kansas City. Through 1976-79, I played with “The
Drifters”, “The Tam’s”, “Round House Band” and “Little Royal” from
Georgia, “Pandall” and “Badge” from North Carolina. In 1979, I worked
with Larry Sharp and Gregg Lomt trio. In 1983, I drummed in the Black
Star Lite Band. In 1986, I joined Intervission from Oakland. In the
years between 1989-2002, I met Cool Papa on television with Bay Area
Back Roads. I also played with John Lee Hooker, Deacon Jones, Gregg
Allmar, Steve Ganna, Al Von Johnson, Rocken Earl Brown, Ron Steward of
Blue Society, Lady Margaret and the Gentlemen, Perry Walker, Survival
Band and Steppen Stone.
