Bellson Plays Gladstone



















A good friend of mine recently purchased a couple of very special Billy Gladstone snare drums and let me tell you, they are very special indeed!

Here's the great Louis Bellson playing his very own custom Gladstone snare drum:

  1. Amazing video.Thanks so very much for keeping Louie's legacy alive. The website looks great - can't wait to check out some of the interviews. Thanks also for the plug on The Century Project. As you know, it's been many years in the making, and I'm finally so excited to have the opportunity to share all this knowledge that I learned from Louie and the many other legends I was blessed to know. I hope you are well and happy.
