Every time I've seen the Pops on TV, it was Louis Bellson playing drum set, and he is an absolute monster. You would think that a band of that calibre would always have a top guy on set.

I think Louie's busy.  :)

Umm, sorry, I missed something. Louis didn't pass away while I wasn't looking, did he? He wasn't too busy to play the gigs I saw (though admittedly he was singled out, perhaps as a guest artist? Quite a coincidence that every time I catch the Boston Pops it's LB on set?)

The last time I saw him he was doing fine, but he's always had many irons in the fire, and would probably not be willing to give up his own interests to be a regular with the pops.
