I have a Keith Moon stick from Summer 1968. It's a Rogers Louis Bellson (sp?) Model. Tiny stick, about 15" long. His roady stood next to him with an armful while Moon bounced them off his floor tom all night. When one bounced into the audience I grabbed it. I imagine, from the way he went through sticks, (in those days) they bought whatever sticks they could find cheap.

Here are a few Keith Moon sticks. The Ajax Jack Parnell sticks were used by him a lot, but yes he did use many different brands at times including Premier, Rogers Louie Bellson and Ludwig Joe Morello
