Premier - Carmine Appice's 5x14" Brass Snare Drum (#8)
From the Carmine Appice Collection at Donn Bennett’s Drum Vault in Seattle, WA.
It’s impossible to adequately describe Carmine’s massive impact on the drum world. He redefined rock drumming with his innovative playing with Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck Bogart and Appice, Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osborne, Edgar Winter, Ted Nugent and more. He literally “wrote the book” on rock drumming with his “Realistic Rock” drum method, the best selling rock drum book of all time. He introduced the rock drum world to China cymbals and gongs that are now commonplace on the modern drum set. Carmine is without a doubt, one of the most influential and innovative drummers of our time.
We've just acquired a huge collection of drum gear directly from Carmine Appice. This is just one piece of the collection currently available here at Donn Bennett’s Drum Vault.
This drum shows a few scuffs and some patina, souvenirs from Carmine's use with Blue Murder and Guitar Zeus in the 1990s. Functionally and structurally there are no notable issues. Aquarian Sound Control head on top and a "Mapex" Remo Ambassador Snare head on the snare side.
Carmine autographed the batter head in black Sharpie after these photos were taken. Includes a COA signed by Carmine Appice.
Serial Number: 004481
