*SOLD* Another 12" x 15" parade snare was found within the collection.
Joe Vetrano, a close friend of Gene's, has told us that he himself has played this drum in Gene's home and remembers when Slingerland sent this marching drum to him. "We each played on it after he showed it to me. It was always where he put it on a stand when he got it, and there until he died." Even though this was only in Gene's drum collection for the last year of his life, it looks as if it was very well played. Kind of a practice pad in his home.
