Here's Allen's real kit. I took this picture of our good friend, Joe Voda, playing it at Allen's memorial celebration.

Greg thanks man, not that we had any doubt !

Wow. I just read the seller's latest description and it literally made me sick. I have been having a hard time dealing with Jerry's health problems and for this guy to speak ill will of him is pathetic. This guy is the biggest piece of sh!t.

Yeah screw that guy and just focus your energy on Jerry he is the one who matters anyway .

this is the message I just sent this low life seller. Hi the blaemire kit that your selling would you have a letter of authenticity or any documation of proof, as per your claims of this kits providence?? It would be a big help in the sale of this kit. Just to give you a heads up this kit is being discussed on multiple drum forums and the copy you have written has and is not being well received. This will reflect negatively on you and the possible sale of this kit??? This is his reply back to me !! Dear vintagemore2000,

Each shell has blaemire tag inside shell. previous owner was friend with al and al told him it use to be his kit as he was the only one with 2 vent holes. No reason for owner or al to lie as. previous owner is a pilot and has delt with many drum companies and players over many years.

I have no reason to lie as I make the same percentage if it sells or not. I can only take the honest word of owner about the history. There would never be a certificate as the history has no real meaning in price there for not worth lying about.

It sound like Jenkins lied to a few people about many kits just to make top dollar. previous owner treaded over 5000 worth of drums for this kit.

I have no Idea how someone can start a lie years ago and then complain about it when it is passed and blame the innocent. I have sold many gretch round badge kits for 3000 to 5000 and they are not worth it. but no one complains. people buy chevy and doge products all the time and think they are driving good vehicles, People shop and walmart all the time and never complain the the 2 cents they save has destroyed the USA and other countries.

All I do is sell products for my customers and ALL I can do is list it the way they want. No one has proven to me that this kit is anything other that what owner has told me. I have owned and sold over 1000 drums and you can never now the whole history unless you picked it up from factory. I had Dolly pardons studio kit I found in a church in a small town where a guys dad had worked at the studio years ago and bought it. no certificate or forms just honest words. years after I sold it the new owner found a photos of dolly and there was the kit behind her. I have a set that chico hamelton designed with gretch. again no certificate. its not an autograph or anything they though would be of value later in its life. then we found a photo of chico with the kit.

I have over 100 Ludwig snares some very rare with no history or certificates. my prices r always better

Plus 1, makes me sick too.

Please speak kindly and respectfully of Jerry Jenkins.

From the seller:

I do not like getting raped and will file charges on everyone involved.

Al told previous owner it was his set with the 2 vent holes.

if al made it then he did own it.

I can only pass along what the seller tells me.

15 years and perfect feedback I have never been disrespected from the drum community the way you folks are.

if you can not prove 100 percent that everything in this world is not honestly labeled then do NOT rape me of my rights.

I got prices from jekin on a new kit like this and that's what he quoted me.

the lie started with Jenkins and I have nothing to do with that lie that is all him.

That seller sure likes the word rape a lot doesn't he ? It seems to be one of the few words he spells correctly too . What an ass hat .

In these days of the 'net, these sellers think they can lie and lie and get away with it. Those days are over...
