Gladstone snare drums list?
With the recent posts from Steve Maxwell about the Gladstone complete set I have been wondering about the snare drums. Somewhere I had seen a listing of all the snares Billy Gladstone made under his own name (pre Gretsch). It was a document somewhere on the internet. I remember it listed those that were lost or destroyed, the ones owned by The Marine band (some of which were stolen) and those made for famous drummers including Shelly Manne. Does anyone know where this list is located? I’d like to view it and save a copy.

Not sure about the list but a Gladstone snare is currently for sale if you want to re-mortgage!

Re: Gladstone snare drums list?
One thing I don't understand when there is an enormous starting bid such as in this case, why charge a separate
shipping fee on top of the asking price. There must be a hefty profit margin to begin with. Last edited by Dudley; 10-07-2021 at 09:09 PM.

Re: Gladstone snare drums list?
I never knew there was a list, but it makes sense that someone would have attempted it.
I took lessons from Ted Reed (Syncopation) as a HS kid and he definitely knew the whereabouts of many of those drums back then as he was actively buying them up. I think he had 9 drums before he retired from playing. I've heard there were about 55 drums BG made and many still haven't surfaced.
