Doug Sandom (born 1936) was the original drummer for English rock band The Who. Early in the band's career, while they were playing as The Detours (around mid 1962), Sandom, a bricklayer, joined as drummer. However, while the other members of the group were in their late teens, Sandom was already in his late twenties, and the difference in age eventually made him something of an outcast in the group. His wife also objected to him staying out at all hours of the night.

  • Doug Sandom (born 1936) was the original drummer for English rock band The Who. Early in the band's career, while they were playing as The Detours (around mid 1962), Sandom, a bricklayer, joined as drummer. However, while the other members of the group were in their late teens, Sandom was already in his late twenties, and the difference in age eventually made him something of an outcast in the group. His wife also objected to him staying out at all hours of the night. After The Who had auditioned for (and were rejected by) Fontana Records in early 1964, Pete Townshend suggested to the other members of the band, John Entwistle and Roger Daltrey, that Doug leave the group, which he did that April. Within a month of Sandom leaving, Keith Moon was hired after he had approached the band at one of their gigs and told them he could play better than the session drummer they had hired. On his departure from the group, Sandom said, "I wasn't as ambitious as the rest of them. I'd have done it longer than what they had. Of course, I loved it. It was very nice to be part of a band that people followed, it was great to be part of a band that people followed, it was great. But I didn't get on well with Peter Townshend. I was a few years older than him, and he thought I should pack in more or less because of that. I thought I was doing all right with the band, we never got slung out of nowhere, we always passed our auditions."
  • Doug Sandom was de eerste drummer van de Engelse rockband The Who. Rond 1962, toen The Who nog als The Detours door het leven gingen, kwam Sandom – een metselaar van origine – erbij als drummer. Omdat de andere bandleden in hun late tienerjaren waren en Sandom reeds achter in de twintig was, bleek dat Sandom steeds meer een buitenbeentje werd in de band. Nadat The Who een auditie had gedaan bij Fontana Records in 1964 – en werd afgewezen –, stelde Pete Townshend, de gitarist van de band, voor aan de andere bandleden om Doug Sandom de groep te laten verlaten, wat deze in april van dat jaar ook deed. Binnen een maand nadat Sandom de band verlaten had, werd Keith Moon ingehuurd. Hij had namelijk bij een optreden van The Detours laten weten dat hij beter kon spelen dan die drummer die ze op dat moment hadden.
  • Doug Sandom var den første trommeslager i den engelske rockgruppa The Who. Tidlg i bandets karriere, da de kalte seg The Detours rundt 1962 deltok Sandom som trommeslager. Mens de andre i gruppa var i slutten av tenårene, var Sandom allerede rundt tretti og alderforskjellen gjorde at han aldri ble en integrert medlem av gruppa. Etter at The Who hadde prøvespilt for, og avvist av, playteselskapet Fontana Records tidlig i 1964, foreslo Pete Townshend for de to andre bandmedlemmene John Entwistle og Roger Daltrey at de skulle kutte ut Sandom og han sluttet da i april samme år. Mens de imøtekom avtaler om spillejobber ved hjelp av en studiomusiker en måneds tid, tilbø Keith Moon sine tjenster etter at han hadde vært til stede på en av disse spillejobbene og mente at han var en bedre trommeslager. Og fikk jobben.
  • Doug Sandom (1936 -) foi o baterista original da banda de rock britânica The Who. No início da carreira do grupo, enquanto eles ainda se apresentavam como The Detours, Sandom, um pedreiro, assumiu o papel de baterista. Mas enquanto os outros integrantes se encontravam no final da adolescência, Sandom estava com quase 30 anos. Sua experiência foi importante no começo, mas a diferença de idade fez com que ele eventualmente fosse deixado de lado. Quando o The Who fez um teste na Fontana Records no começo de 1964, Pete Townshend, seguindo a orientação de um produtor da gravadora, pediu para que Sandom deixasse a banda, o que ele fez em abril. Depois de muitos testes e bateristas temporários, seu lugar foi finalmente ocupado por Keith Moon.
