There's a Film Sounds FX guy that someone should make a movie about named
Murray Spivack - who is one of the greatest Drum Teachers - who created the Sound FX Department for RKO after doing sound fx for King Kong. He taught Remo Belli who innovated so many great percussion products (like the Roto-toms).
Cool beans, top job.
