ONE LUCKY DRUM KIT

ONE LUCKY DRUM KIT

Moon kit set for auction at Bonhams

Keith Moon Ludwig Super Classic ’64 Drum Kit

This 1964 Keith Moon drum kit is in remarkably good condition considering the Who drummer’s notoriety for being a wild man. You know the cliché about rock stars trashing hotels and throwing TVs out the window? Well Keith kinda set the template for all who would follow. And then there’s the Who’s history of giving their equipment a beat down at the end of performances. Keith not only beat his drums. He kicked them over. This set is said to be one of the drummer’s first and, from the looks of it, it got off pretty easy.

Keith Moon’s Ludwig Super Classic set will be auctioned off along with items from The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Nivana, and The Beatles at Bonhams Entertainment Memorabilia Sale Dec 10.

Rolling Stones Sydney Bondi Beach Lithograph

This is one of two Rolling Stones 14 On Fire posters produced for the Sydney show in Australia. Each stop of the tour is getting at least one tailored image. This one caught our eye as being particularly cool. It’s kinda like the Stones swallowed the Beach Boys. A limited amount of posters are sold at each show with others being made available online. Right now you can pre-purchase the Bondi Beach litho and others as the Australian/New Zealand leg of the tour winds down. The prints are numbered collectibles sized 495 x 693 mm.

A SEMI-ACOUSTIC WITH PLENTY OF GROWL AND GROHL

Dave Grohl ES-335

The Gibson Dave Grohl ES 335

Rocks Mr. Nice Guy, Mr I’ll play with anybody, drums or guitar it’s all good, Mister yeah Nirvana was cool, but have you heard my other multi-platinum selling band. Somebody give this man his own guitar already. Actually he’s already had his own signature Gibson in the past, but that was a while ago. Introducing the Dave Grohl ES 335.

This limited edition is built to the specs and looks of the ’60s Trini Lopez ES 335 Grohl has played in the studio and on tour with more bands than we have time to print. It has that classic ES versatility to give you that quite, loud, quite, loud sound that Grohl helped invent and has most certainly perfected.

There are two versions of this puppy to choose from, but not many. There are 200 of the above blue metallic and another 400 in gold metallic.

Glyn Johns story of recording rock 'n' roll

Sound Man by Glyn Johns

So Glyn Johns has sat in the room with the Beatles, the Stones, the Who, Zeppelin and the Clash while they crafted their music. What would you do to have a beer with this guy? Which is highly unlikely for a number of reasons, but mostly on account that Glyn Jones is a teetotaler. Which is terrible for your chances of ever listening to him recounts tales of rock ‘n’ roll debauchery over a pint, but it was great for John’s memory while recalling the stories that fill Sound Man.
