Drummer No 159 December 1992 cover

The Drummer No 159 cover, December 1992, pairs two photographs: on the left, Jack Fritscher’s portrait of Palm Drive Video model Larry Perry under the cover line “Larry Perry: L.A. Bartender,” and on the right, Scott Beseman’s photograph of International Mr. Leather winner Lenny Broberg. Inside is a five-page spread of eight black-and-white Fritscher photographs of Perry; editor Joseph W. Bean put Perry on the cover and left Drummer after this issue.

Two photographs make up the cover. The photograph on the left is shot solo by Jack Fritscher, showing Palm Drive Video model Larry Perry, eyes down to nipple, with cover copy: “Larry Perry: L.A. Bartender.” (The photograph to the right is a shot by Scott Beseman of the International Mr. Leather [IML] winner Lenny Broberg.) Interior 5-page spread features 8 b&w photographs of Larry Perry taken by Jack Fritscher.

Drummer publisher Martijn Bakker said, allegedly according to editor Joseph Bean, that “Larry Perry will never be on the cover of Drummer.” Joseph Bean put Larry Perry on this cover and left Drummer after this issue, #159.

Editor for Drummer #159: Joseph W. Bean.
