Where Are We Going?
There have been amazing transactions in the 2000-1 year. I
won't even hear about all of them but we have seen tremendous value jumps on
some models. The Gladstone is now a $15,000 and up snare. Black Beauties are as
much as $6,000. The "new" rising star is the mid 60s Rogers
Dyna-Sonic. I remember buying them for $250-350 and now the choice ones are
going for $3,200 and up.
There are collectors with quarter of a
million-dollar collections- some even more. The interest is at an all time high
and the availability on information has never been greater.
And it is a
worldwide economy- drums are coming and going all over the place.
Oh
yes, and in 2000; one snare went for $50,000- pretty neat, eh? But another one
went for $100,000.
Look our guitar owners, WE are on our way!
