He first learned to play the drums when he was in the sixth grade. Bushy is a writer and musician, and is highly respected for his lengthy drum solo in In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, with his primal drum patterns, that set the standard for generations of rock drummers. Ron is also highly skilled in the graphic arts and has created most of the logos and artwork as seen on the Iron Butterfly merchandise and advertising. Other bands Magic (1977-1978): Bushy (drums) and Walter Kibbey (drums), Ron Rocket Ritchotte (guitar, vocals), former Iron Butterfly members Philip Taylor Kramer (bass, vocals) and Bill DeMartines (keyboards, vocals).. Gold (1978-1980): Bushy (drums), Ritchotte (guitar, vocals), whose spot was later filled by Stuart Young (guitar, vocals), John Koehring (guitar, lead vocals), and Kramer (bass, vocals). They recorded one album in Spring of 1979 that was never released. Drum set He built his own plexi glass acrylic drum set and it is thought to be the first one built using plexi glass acrylic.[citation needed] It has a number of butterfly picture cut-outs taped to it. The bass drum is twice the depth of a normal bass drum, so it pushes a longer column of air. The air column was so strong that when miking the bass drum, small sandbag weights were used to keep the air column from pushing over the microphone. Read more: answers/topic/ron-bushy#ixzz3E92hca4X
