Extensive collector; rest assured either Bennett or Maxwell will be brokering the sales. My bet is on Steve. He has a video where he describes doing the much-needed inventory fairly recently (within the last few years).

Yes, and in that video he mentions finding the Ludwig 22, 13, 16 in sky blue in a storage location when Watts thought it had been sold years before.

You never know though. His wife might spread them around on the farm a bit. Kind of like when you see a prewar car rotting into the ground on farm here and there. My wife's next door neighbor (growing up) let his father's Packard rot away for 40 years because he couldn't bear to sell it. Rust to dust.

Wonder truly how many kits he had

As he was worth what 87 mil

Interesting video. I had no idea. I often have dreams about stumbling into an abandoned garage only to find vintage Ludwig drum kits..

Hey guys, would you add the link to see that video? Thanks.

I have read that Charlie collected a lot of gear that belonged to his drumming heroes,and also some holy grail gear like Gretch Gladstones etc.Steve M said there was hundreds of boxes in Charlie's possession so I think there is a good chance there is also a lot of non provenance vintage gear also.

What about the storage unit that was Gene Krupas? Charlie just bought it a year or two ago.

I would be interested in seeing the videos as well...

Cheers
