A Young Drummers Story Of His Biggest Supporter.

January 31, 2021 Edward Tucker

That weekend an old friend of mine Pat, that has since passed on, (RIP Brother, and thank you for this) stayed up with me for three days straight listening to Pink Floyd as we cleaned, polished and assembled this pile into a usable drum set. It was mismatched colors of red. Some were sparkle and some were swirl pearl, and it was also different brands, Ludwig, Pearl and Slingerland etc...., I didn't care, I finally had my first real drum set that was all mine!

Celebrity set - Madelaine Manney's '55 Gretsch Broadkaster Cocktail Drum Set

May 28, 2020 Edward Tucker

Miss Madeleine Manney was a very unique and strong woman, especially when you consider the time period in which she led her own band - quite extraordinary.
