A pair of Palmer's stage-played size M Foote's drumsticks were auctioned in August 2023 via Julien's.

A pair of Foote’s drumsticks that were stage used by Carl Palmer during a performance in Glasgow, Scotland in the early 1970s. Comes with a detailed letter from the original recipient that reads ‘Emerson Lake and Palmer had just finished their performance in Glasgow’s Apollo. We headed out, to hopefully meet them at the stage door. When they eventually appeared, all three.. Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer all signed my programme, I asked Carl Palmer if he had possibly a broken drumstick during the show, which I hopefully could have as a souvenir. He replied, he hadn’t broken one for ages and produced two drumsticks for me… in perfectly good condition. He used them in the show and really liked the idea of an actual item from their performance, as a souvenir of a great night’. The condition is very good. NO RESERVE ESTIMATE $200.00 - $400.00
