Steve Ferrone's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Rhythm Tech - 8" Studio Series Cowbell, Autographed - Black

There are bad asses, and there are BAD ASSES!! Steve Ferrone would be the later.
In the world of "first call” drummers, Steve Ferrone is the first one they call. Just ask Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, George Harrison, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Rick James, Slash, Chaka Khan, Bee Gees, Al Jarreau, Mick Jagger or Johnny Cash. When iconic bands like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Average White Band, Duran Duran and Aerosmith needed to replace their “irreplaceable” drummers, Steve Ferrone was the guy who stepped up. 
Steve played a lot of drums throughout his career and he's saved almost every one of them. He has drums from Ludwig, Pearl, DW, Gretsch, Rogers and more. Some are custom made, some are rare prototypes, all are stellar drums. Nothing made it into his collection unless it was exceptional. 
Steve is thinning down his collection to just the drums he needs for his current gig with Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs, and his steady stream of session dates. Steve’s collection is being offered for sale, hoping these drums find buyers who appreciate their history and continue making great music with them.

This authentic Rhythm Tech Studio Series 8" Cowbell comes directly from Steve Ferrone's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers touring rig. The cowbell is in new unplayed condition so we have to assume it was a back up that went on tour but was never actually played.

This cowbell is a personally autographed piece of touring gear from one of the greatest drummers of our time at an extremely accessible price.

Steve's drum collection was recently featured in the April, 2026 issue of Modern Drummer Magazine.

Includes a COA signed by Steve Ferrone.
