R.I.P. to Mr. Hal Blaine, and thank you for enriching our lives with your artistry. My thoughts are with his family and friends, and all of the musicians who were privileged to work with him.
I'm also thinking of Brian Wilson, who has experienced his share of losses over the years. Hal is another friend and fellow musician who I'm sure he will miss terribly.

Very sorry to hear the news. Besides being a fantastic drummer, he had a great sense of improv and comedic timing as evidenced in the Vegetable Fight skit. I couldnt see that session being anywhere near as entertaining without Hal.

A great one. Beyond his contributions to music, I'm very thankful for all the interviews he gave over the years to give a more complete perspective on how some of that amazing music was made.

Iām so sad, I donāt know what to say. Hal Blaine was such a great musician and friend that I canāt put it into words. Hal taught me a lot, and he had so much to do with our success - he was the greatest drummer ever. We also laughed an awful lot. Love, Brian

Darian put it nicely on Facebook: The world just lost 10 of the greatest drummers today.
