IRON MAIDEN's NICKO MCBRAIN Auctioning Vintage LUDWIG Snare Drum

October 4, 2007

IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain is auctioning "a very fine, vintage, '70s [Ludwig] Acrolite snare drum" via eBay. According to Nicko's posting on the auction page, "It has the original heads top and bottom and the original snare. The shell is in good shape, it has a few scratches on it but looks fantastic for its age. The drum is accompanied with a Billy Gladstone practice pad, a snare stand, and a hard case as pictured. These outfits were very popular for kids just starting. I have a few of these in my collection and this is a good one. I will be delighted to sign a dedication on the head to the winner."

The auction ends on October 6 at 10:04:02 PDT.

As previously reported, Nicko McBrain will perform at the Drummer Live event — described as "the ultimate day out for all drumming, percussionist and music enthusiasts" — on October 20-21 at the London Docklands' ExCeL Centre. Also scheduled to appear are Cindy Blackman (LENNY KRAVITZ),Gerald Heyward (BEYONCE),Thomas Lang, Steve White (PAUL WELLER BAND),Walfredo Reyes Jr., Andrew Small (KYLIE MINOGUE) and many more.

The show will be crammed with companies and traders offering every conceivable product, service, part or accessory a drummer could wish for.
