BIN # *189Terence”Jet”HarrisMBE(6 July 1939 18 March 2011) was an English musician. He was thebass guitaristofThe Shadowsfrom 1958 until April 1962, and had subsequent success as asoloistand as aduowith the drummerTony Meehan

Daniel Joseph Anthony Meehan(2 March 1943 28 November 2005)[1]professionally known asTony Meehanwas a founder member of the British groupThe Drifters, withJet Harris,Hank MarvinandBruce Welch, which would evolve intoThe Shadows. He played drums on earlyCliff Richardand the Shadowshitsand on early Shadowsinstrumentals.

Meehan was professionally nicknamed “The Baron” by his many admirers and friends within the British pop/rock music industry. He is reckoned to have influenced many thousands of teenage boys and adolescents to take up music as a career includingMick FleetwoodofFleetwood Macas a result of his iconic film performance in Cliff Richard’s filmThe Young Ones. His drumming style (cf. Bongo Blues, Apache) is noticeably different from that of other drummers that the Shadows employed during 19582010 such asBrian Bennett,Clem CattiniandTrevor Spencer, preferring a simpler 1950s jazz style kit to a voluminous 1970/80s rock/metal drum kit. Thus his kit was significantly more spartan, in terms of quantity of drums and accessories, than Brian Bennett’s modern expansive drum kits through the decades. In his contribution to the 1961 bookThe Shadows by ThemselvesMeehan gives very useful, timely and helpful advice to all would-be drummers on drum-kit care and maintenance.
