Peter Lavinger has over 1,300 in his collection.
In 1980, Lavinger caught a Drumstick at a concert.
In 1989, The Lavinger Collection was displayed in The New York Hard Rock Café.
And since opening on Labor Day 1995, Peter's Collection has been showcased (through February 2002) on The Main Exhibition Level of The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame And Museum, Cleveland, Ohio in a wildly popular exhibit.
In 2000, The Guinness Book Of World Records certified Peter as a World Record Holder and included his Collection into their 2002 Edition, 2004 Edition as well as a prominent feature in The 2005 Guinness Golden Jubilee 50th Anniversary Edition.
Lavinger says "It's a privilege to have The Hall Of Fame and Guinness recognize my work"… "it's that type of critical acclaim and global recognition that elevates my Collection to Iconic status," he admits.
His work? He caught a bunch of drumsticks at shows. Then he started going directly to the source. An impressive collection, but "work"? Come on.
Great drumstick collection. I don't know how you could have found the time to amass such an inventory of signed sticks. They must be worth a million dollars or more. Very cool indeed. Keep on drumming Peter!
