My Dad, Tommy Noll, was a drummer. He loved jazz, especially Dixieland. My reference for this painting was a black and white publicity photo. Back in the 20's and 30's the big bands travelled in the band bus playing the clubs and nightspots around the country. The drum sets were very large in that era, especially the bass drum. The small copper colored drum was his tom-tom.watercolor 15x19

My hero! Wish I was able to hear him play. And, wish I could paint like you!
