He recorded more than 30 singles and LPs, was a session drummer with several top bands, played with the Beach Boys and John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band, toured with many other American top acts, appeared in films, and moved on to become an entertainer and smashed many quirky world records for playing musical instruments.
Rory enjoyed his session work, and recalled: “Some quite famous bands, who I won’t name, were not always happy with their drummers, so I was called in to lay down the beat on recordings.
“I was also called up to play with Beach Boys on American and Canadian tours, and that was a great experience.
“There was a Beach Boys reunion in the States earlier in the year, and I was invited along by Brian Wilson, who was the mastermind behind their songs.
