Vintage Concert Snare Drum. From His Estate Sale. Please See Last Photo for Info On “Muzzy”. Performers Such As Marine Corp Band, DCI, Eastman School of Music, Wind Ensembles Etc. That Played Under The Direction of Dr. President Bill Clinton Was A Fan. No Hurry To Sell – Just Want to Get It To The Right Person. Reasonable Offer Accepted – Tell Me Your Story. I Have Some Provenance in The Form of Personnel Letters & Photographs. Just Snare Drums & Cowbell. I Was Hoping to Find Pictures In His Coffee Table Book of Him Playing The Drums I Own. My Super Ludwig Has His Big Signature In Felt Pen On The Bottom Head. Don’t Know Who Frederick Fennell Is? In 1937 at Eastman School of Music. Fennell became the first person ever to be awarded a master’s. & then later an honorary doctor’s degree in percussion performance. I Suggest You Do A Google Search. It Would Be A Shame If This This Historic Drum Is Parted Out. Slingerland 1 Ply Radio King Shell. Slingerland Muffler Tone Control. Rogers Throw Off Strainer. Ludwig Badge, Lugs & Butt. Attending Community College Back in the Mid 70’s. Fennell Was Guest Conductor For A Day. From Other Colleges & High Schools Present For. I’m Sight Reading A Cowbell Part & My Drummer Buddy Ken Alarms Me “You Are Playing Two Bars Ahead”. Ken & I Crashed a Hal Blaine Session… & He Got Buddy Rich to Sign My “Stck It” Album at Disneyland. We Had A Brief Discussion Regarding the Matter Such As.. “I Don’t Think So”. Bang Bang Bang Fennell with His Baton. Pointing At Me With The Baton What’s Going On Back There? Bring That Music Stand Down Here! I Had To Come Down From The Percussion Section & Stand in Front Of Him. He Counted Off The Piece Then Conducted Me Reading The Cowbell Part. I Thought I Did A Pretty Good Job. Giving Me The Stink Eye At An Intimidating 5′ 1. “Go Back To The Section & Keep Your My Mouth Shut”. I Prefer Too Look Back.. & Claim I Performed A Percussion Solo Under The Direction Of Dr. About The Same Age Now As He When We Had That Encounter. Decades Later I End Up Owning Two of His Snare Drums & Cowbell!! The Other Snare Drum I Own Is A Brass. Super Ludwig Gifted to Him by His Life Long Friend WFL II. There’s no drummer here yet. I can’t die without a drummer. I told him that I loved him, and that Heaven’s best drummer was on the way. Moments later he said, I hear him! I’m OK now. This was my final conversation with my dad.
