11/14/21 UPDATE: Truly historic event: - THE BILLY GLADSTONE DRUM SET will be permanently on display at the Percussive Arts Society museum in Indianapolis, IN. We brokered this sale and our client graciously donated the set to PAS. The set made its debut at the PASIC convention 11/11-11/13. The PAS display will be enhanced in 2022 to include the first two original Gladstone snares (from Shelley Manne and Buster Bailey) as well as more Gladstone related information.

See Steve's performance on this set. This is the only recorded performance in existance on a Gladstone drum set: Steve Maxwell Vintage Drums - BILLY GLADSTONE Drum Set Unique - Worlds Finest Example - YouTube

The display will be named for the donors, David and Colette Wood. See Steve's quick video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRPqnASWu-I

Pristine condition and superb provenance. One of the rarest sets in the world.
