Joining me today is british drummer Jeff Rich.

Join Jeff and myself as we chat about his amazing career, starting from his humble beginnings havent to scrimp and save to put a drum kit together, through to his early gigging life.
We couldnt not talk about when Jeff played alongside Rick Allenof Def Leppard as he was getting to grips with playing his new Electronic Drum Kit after losing an arm in a horriffic accident.
And of course, this leads us on to his time with the mighty Status Quo and his debut album with the band - In th Army Now.
Jeff also shows us in the video a beautiful 1979 engraved Ludwig Drums Black Beauty Snare Drum, this was gifted to him by Rick Allen and was the snare drum used by Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich on their classic Ride The Lightening Album!!
