UPDATE 4/20/2022:
Recently it was found that the info on page 143 was not 100% accurate. The date of the addition of the SLINGERLAND arc, to Gene’s front bass drum heads, was in ’56, not ’58.
NEXT…Book contributor/photographer Paul Testa came across this photo to, once and for all, put to rest the mystery of whether Gene ever used white handled brushes as mentioned on page 204 of GK. The answer, indeed he did for a short period of time in the mid to late ’60’s.
