W&A 'Big Blue' on ebay

Maybe Jeremy can do a special "poster" in his booth at the CT Drum show about the kit. He always has a great spot that draws lots of traffic. I would recommend asking him if he could post a board about the kit. I think that may help. I'll also talk to some of the collectors I know to see what they say. Every bit helps.

Michael - Jeremy 'may be' the new owner of Big Blue. If the drums don't sell on ebay he's already offered to buy them from me. Still some price negotiation to do, but if nobody scoops them up on fleabay, Jeremy wants them. If he buys them I'm certain he'll want to display them in person at any shows he attends. There will likely be a sign on them somewhere that says, Please do not touch the drums! :D

Too many great drums to list here!

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

No bids... only a couple of days left to go. I'm getting antsy. 49 watchers, but I imagine that it's mostly you guys following the auction. I hope there's one, or two serious buyers in the lot.

Gary - Thanx brother...

These "show n tell" kits are a tough one. Its going to attract a very specific crowd, and as stated will have a permanent "DONT TOUCH" sign on them.

There are companies that rent period correct clothes, cars, instruments, etc for movies to bring home the authenticity.

I think he went under the name Drum Doctor.

Hit like you mean it!!
