I hope this isn't too far off topic........Did Gene Krupa ever play or endorse anything other than Slingerland? I've never seen or heard of him playing anything else but I'm far from being a GK expert. :confused:

No, Gene played Slingerland's to the very end, He was a Gentleman's Gentleman, Now he did get caught using other brand snare drums which Slingerland was not at all happy about.

That snare drum wouldn't have been a dealer assembled Dyna Sonic with slingy lugs and rims would it?:)

One that Steve B. has mentioned elsewhere before, that Ludwig black oysters circa mid-60s being sold on ebay under "Rare Ringo Kit". Ludwig made a gazillion of these right? Perhaps "rare" if in near mint condition.

Same holds true for Beatles original first issue LPs. Sold millions and they're only rare if sealed or never played.
