Ron Bushy (born December 23, 1945) is a co-founder and drummer of the rock band Iron Butterfly.He was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in a military family, living in approximately 34 states during his youth. He first learned to play the drums when he was in the sixth grade.
He is a writer and is highly respected for his lengthy drum solo in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," with his primal drum patterns, that set the standard for generations of rock drummers. Ron is also highly skilled in the graphic arts and has created most of the logos and artwork as seen on the Iron Butterfly merchandise and advertising.
A commonly repeated story says that the song title was originally "In The Garden Of Eden", but in the course of rehearsing and recording singer Doug Ingle slurred the words into the nonsense phrase of the title while under the influence of alcohol (wine). The truth (according to the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation) is that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and he just couldn't hear correctly; he simply distorted what Doug Ingle answered when Ron asked him for the title of the song.
