Cher: If I Could Turn Back Time (Ron Wikso)

Post by Jules »

I would think that many of us more mature aged folks saw this live. I remember watching it and my Mother remarking on Cher's attire. If you do remember the performance but don't know about the drummer, it is Ron Wikso, who became a Sonor Artist the next year. He is playing Yamaha, here.

Quick back story: That was personal Yamaha kit that he had bought retail. When he asked Yamaha for tour support, he told them he didn't need a rig, he already had one. He just wanted to be on their radar if he needed support while touring. They asked him for a demo tape! I think this performance, AND the fact the he was touring for CHER should have been everything they needed to offer him tour support. But, he signed with Sonor and never looked back!!!



His recent Interview:

Who is the drummer in the official promo for If I Could Turn Back Time? (The one filmed on the battleship).
He's playing a Pearl kit.
