was honoured by
at a special presentation at the recent
event in Columbus Ohio for his thirty year commitment to Ludwig. During the celebration, Ed was presented a one-of-a-kind Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum extensively hand engraved with Shaughnessy´s well-known caricature (see pictures below).
Jim Catalano, director of marketing for Ludwig/Musser and long-time friend of Ed made the presentation. “Ed´s influence on today´s drummers is legendary", he said. "At a time when television was the single in-home video outlet, Ed provided a clinic to the nation´s drummers and fans every weekday evening on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. It´s hard to imagine any one person having such an effect on drummers and drumming as Ed Shaughnessy did every night. In today fractionalized video market, it´s likely never to be seen again.”
