carmine appice, legendary drummer of “vanilla fudge”, il 15 October 2010, On the occasion of a demonstration at “musical box” of Verona, he visited mine “guitar ranch”. Before his performance he wanted to see my instruments and, the ultimate clinic, he was kind enough to give me the sticks used on that occasion and also to give me a nice dedication on a white bass drum head that I had there, specifying that he had no relationship with the manufacturer of that type of leather, while he was a happy endorser of Evans products
