I want to know about the drums used by Jeremy Gelbwaks and
Brian Forster:

1. Why did Jeremy use Brian's blue drums in the pilot? Where is the red one that he used later?

2. Why was Brian's drums blue,then white,then dark blue when he used them?

3. In the episode "When Mother Gets Married,Jeremy's drums had a different logo than the one we usally see. What did it look like?

Tell me NOW!

I happened to notice that the drums were red in the "Old Scrapmouth" episode and that the PF costumes were blue.I think they thought the drums should be a contrasting color vis a vi the outfits.You'll recall that the drums were blue in pilot and outfits red.
The real headscratcher for me was Keith "playing" an electric,acoustic or 12 string with no regard for what was being heard on the soundtrack,or just singing guitar-less when one could clearly be heard on the track!?

Here's the deal on Chris' drums:

1. In the pilot,Chris' drums are blue with no logo on the front. These drums were going to be used later when Brian used them.
After that,his drums were red with the traditional "Partridge Family logo. In "When Mother Gets Married",his drum set had a different logo. It had two notes on it,but the name stayed.

2. Brian Forster(Chris #2) had different colored drums. First he has the blue drums which was going to be spray painted dark blue in the 4th season. Then he has white drums which were shown in several episodes. After that,the white drum set was gone.

The reason Chris has these colored drums is so they match Danny's bass guitar. When his bass was red,Chris' drums were red. If it was white,the drums were white. The same for if it was
dark blue. The only times it was different is when Danny had a brown bass and Chri had a blue drum set.

IMAGINE THAT!

What does "THE MONKEES" have to do with "THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY"?

They both originated from the same company, and they were both made for TV bands. They were pretty much the answer to the demise of The Monkees. When they released their final album in 1970, The Partridges began their run.
