Jim Buehl...Jim sharpened his drum sticks playing in the Chicago suburbs in the 60s. Grandma bought him his first drum set at age 11. He was playing in night clubs at 15. He is greatly influenced by the British Invasion, mainly the Beatles. Jim takes great pride in his classic Ludwig drum sets.  From Chicago to the west coast -- our own “Mr. Ludwig” keeps The Phoenix Band rockin’ steady with vocals and drums.
