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.

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.

Gretsch reintroduces the Broadkaster series You know that Gretsch drum sound. We can say that with a high degree of certainty, because Charlie Watts plays on a set of ’57 Gretsch. In the 1950s, probably when Charlie was just learning to get his backbeat on, …
