The Sex Pistols'  God Save The Queen  Drumkit.
The Sex Pistols' "God Save The Queen" Drumkit. A remarkable piece of punk rock history from the undisputed kings of the genre, presented here is the original black Gretsch drum kit that was owned and used by the Sex Pistols' Paul Cook and used by him throughout the majority of the band's career. Used by Cook through hundreds of shows and film performances, this drum kit is prominently featured in the Sex Pistols' now classic video shoot for the immortal punk anthem "God Save the Queen". A complete kit with accessories, included with the kit is a 22" bass drum, Ludwig Speed King pedal, 16" Tom, 14" Tom, 14" x 5" snare, 14" hi hat (with additional hi hat stand), 17" & 19" Zildjian cymbals, 22" Paiste cymbal, the original drum heads used by Cook, and road cases stenciled with the name of Paul Cook's later band, The Chiefs of Relief. Accompanying this lot is a signed letter of authenticity from Paul Cook himself, dated June 10, 1968, reading in full: "I, Paul Cook, hereby declare the true authenticity of the black Gretsch Drum Kit & Accessories supplied with accompanying letter. The above mentioned drum kit has been owned and used by me since 1976 throughout the duration of the Sex Pistols both live and in video and film performances." Some expected signs of wear and usage, otherwise in perfectly fine and playable condition. 15 Items Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
