Interesting story on a very rare cymbal (regardless of the supposed ownership).

I met Carmine in the mid nineties. I was never a big fan of his, but he was very pleasant and accommodating. He even gave me a photo, which he autographed for me.

I guess if you already had one of John's kits, this might make a nice addition. Otherwise, you can get a LOT of vintage gear for 19 grand...

That includes the kit right? Haha...I have some 602's played by me, what is that worth you think?

Keep fixing them up...

Just as with the Bonham cymbal... whatever somebody is willing to pay for it my friend! :)

Too many great drums to list here!

If I was a few million richer there'd be no price too high for something Bonham played. :)
