This looks like some drummers I have seen. They had so much they never used, and were just doing a straight 4 ... 
 


 
Was it The Merton Parkas?

All the Mods at my high school used to wear PiL pins.




That's a bit odd, PiL aren't a Mod band..was that because of the black & white logo?




Not one of original ones, sure.  But I grew up in Southern California and was going to high school during the so-called "Mod Revival" (from Wikipedia: "There was a mod revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, which was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in southern California, Vancouver, and Toronto.").  Since I was in rock bands ('79-'82), both sides were always giving crap to each other.

I used to wear something akin to the Mod stuff circa '79, black jeans & suit jacket, white shirt & skinny tie. Never went for the pork-pie hat though.
 
Simon, the somewhat deranged drummer in the band I was in, had the scooter and the parka though, and he carried a chisel in his pocket 'just in case'

Indeed, one can never be over-prepared should the need to create a dove-tail joint unexpectedly present itself

@ Craig B - Public Image Limited never were, are not, and are never likely to be, a 'Mod' band. By any stretch of the imagination. 'Punk', 'Post-punk', maybe 'Alternative' could be apposite epithets. But 'Mod' no.
 
@ James - I always associated the black & white badges/logos more with ska and Two-Tone?

Me too (although those fashions overlapped in the late '70's/early '80s), I was just reaching for an explanation why anyone would associate PiL with Mod...

Simon was a handy chap to have on your side, that's for sure, he got me out of more than one severe kicking back then.

Although I agree, they were, never-the-less, lumped in with the "renewal" (and ska was part of it as well).
 
Also realize that the U.S. traditionally doesn't apply things "normally" when they take them from the U.K.!
