Emerson Lake & Palmer
A mega rare Carl Palmer stage/concert used Paiste Gong Mallet
(used on ELP concert tours circa 1977 to the early 80's)
This also comes with an autographed Trilogy album
This would make an incredible display!
This comes from recording engineer/producer/drummer David Frangioni's personal collection and will come with a Certificate of Authenticity letter from the auction house and David Frangioni.
The Paiste gong mallet and album are just beautiful in person and would look incredible in a display frame.
The Paiste gong mallet is 18" long with a 3/4" metal handle. The head is 5" x 31/2" in diameter.
The Trilogy album has been signed in gold and is 180 gram pure virgin vinyl. It is in Near Mint condition. The cover is in immaculate condition and is just waiting to be displayed!
Concert/stage used items are almost impossible to find!
This is a must for the ELP fan!
My name is David Frangioni and I’ve been playing the drums since I was two years old. Doing the math, that gives me about forty-five plus years of drum time.
As a young child, I was deeply inspired by Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, and Joe Morello. The fact that I got to study with two of them and meet all three (as well as see all of them perform many times), was like jet fuel added to my pursuit of becoming a professional drummer.
As I got a little older, I discovered rock and Carl Palmer. He was with ELP at the time and played the most amazing work of art I had ever seen, a custom hand-engraved stainless steel drumkit. I thought that the sound and look of this kit was out of this world. So much so that I followed its lineage from Carl owning it to Ringo owning it, to the kit then being sold in December at auction by Julien’s on behalf of Ringo. Talk about a story! However, I digress—that’s for another time.
Although the stainless kit blew me away, it was Carl’s playing, showmanship, and innovation that inspired me and proved to be a huge influence on my professional life and playing. He turned out to be my primary drum idol.
Well, through a twist and turn of many events, fate, and some luck, I am producing a Carl Palmer Tribute to Keith Emerson concert on June 24 at the Olympia Theater in Miami, Florida. Carl has pulled out all the stops, as this show will feature dancers on “Pictures at an Exhibition” for the first time. Steve Hackett and Mark Stein will be guest stars. A choir featuring Liza Quin and the IDA artists will be featured on “Jerusalem” and I am doing a drum duet with Carl on a song (hard for me to believe this is actually happening, but it’s true).
This is a rock rarity that will skyrocket in value as the years go on...
