Un musée à visiter - Assurément...
Description: Drum kit, stylised art deco design. The bass drum is octagonal and is fitted with a pedal, muffler, two wheels (with brakes) and a trap rail (stamped: Pat App No 17979/37). It also has fittings for the side mounted tom toms and snare drum. The snare drum mount is stamped: The Prince Model, Carlton Percussion Instrument Co. Two swan neck mounts are attached to the trap rail, each supporting a suspended cymbal. The trap rail also houses four green temple blocks, each attached with a screw fitting. An additional fitting is screwed to the top of bass drum with a cow bell and sizzle cymbal stamped: Zyn. The Zyn cymbal is not original; it replaces a ride cymbal that originally occupied this position. Tenor and alto tom toms, each marked: Carlton Super. Snare drum with snare release mechanism and replacement plastic head.* The kit also includes pair of wooden drum sticks, a pair of wire brushes with rubber handles and three additional single sticks.
* C'est tout de même étrange de ne pas avoir installé une peau animale !
Mort aux Pinstripe !Commentary: After the First World War, American jazz became increasingly popular in the UK. Percussion instruments manufactured for the British jazz scene reflected those being developed in the US, where the drum kit had been used in jazz bands since the mid 1920s.The Carlton drum kit was especially popular with performers because of its compact design and varied components including a set of temple blocks and range of cymbal sounds. This kit was made in 1937 and was played in the 1940s and 50s by George Robertson in his band 'The Five Aces'.
