The Beatles Paul McCartney Owned & Stage Used Premier E Drumsticks - Used In 1961-1962.
Offered here is an incredibly rare and sought after item, a pair of stage used drumsticks by Paul McCartney, used in the early years of the band.
Provenance: From the collection of Alistair Taylor.
Alistair Taylor was the personal assistant to Brain Epstein, the manager of the Beatles. As an employee at Epstein’s company, NEMS, Taylor accompanied him when he first saw the Beatles perform at the Cavern Club in Liverpool on 9 November 1961, and his signature appeared on the original Beatles contract. Taylor subsequently worked as the groups so-called “Mr Fixit'', devising escape routes from crazed fans and assisting the band members in purchasing property. He later became the general manager at Apple Corps. Taylor was gifted these drumsticks by Paul McCartney who then gifted the drumsticks to Goerge Gunby.
The drumsticks were used during their Cavern Club years, interestingly enough the pair of drumsticks were used on the Cymbal that is also in our auction.
Good condition.
