Some of you may know who this is and unfortunately he has passed away and his family is trying to clear out his entire inventory to sell the house. This is not my collection and I am not affiliated in any way. I spent a few hours here Sat. and today and came home with two awesome car loads of treasure!

There is so much to look at that 5 hrs of total shopping and I still need to go back.

I asked his family for permission to share this here and they are welcoming any and all buyers.

They are not giving things away but prices are fair and they are very eager to sell and bundle. Think " American Pickers"!

If you are within a couple hours of STL you should check it out.

They have two knowledgable drummer friends helping with sales.

PM me and I will give you their phone # if you would like to set up an appt.

Holy cow man! I'm only 4 hours from St Louis, pretty tempting to get in the car and go. I have never see that much gear on one property before. It all looks so good too. How did you find out about this?


Thank you!

Jeff,

I placed a wanted ad on CL and his helper replied and asked if I could buy it all!

If enough people are interested, I will set up a time where we can all meet there at once.

It would be a great way to meet some of you!

Thank you!

I don't know for sure. They are still doing inventory. It's a big number I'm sure.

I know its what a lot of people on here love doing, but it still kills me a little to see such beautiful instruments that had such craftsmanship put into them that even at what? around 50 or so years old? Is just the beginning of they're useful lifespan to be stacked in a basement never to see the light of day. All this stuff was made to be played.

I admit to having to much gear myself. I do use most of it in studio sessions.

Ah well, you guys who are near or able to get there are going to have a field day that's for sure. Enjoy!

Is it taboo to respectfully divulge the name of the unfortunate drummer who owns these drums? Sorry. I'm clueless.

Would love to know who it was. And, I don't think this is a collection. It's an addiction. Geesh!
