No indication of notability, would CSD it but I found this which lists them as a member of the NY Philharmonic, which although not meeting GNG (?) at least shows they were of some note. Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 21:36, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the obituary in The New York Times.[1] Phil Bridger (talk) 19:10, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The obit in the NY Times show he was a notable percussionist as they don't publish obits for nobodies. This is not a paid obit, as the NY Times also carried his paid obit as well. In addition to the obit, there is this Billboard capsule review calling out the percussion work, and this article identifies that works were composed with him playing in mind. -- Whpq (talk) 15:50, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Times obituary, also here is another obituary. These plus the sources found by Whpq should be enough to establish notability. --Cerebellum (talk) 02:52, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - That obituary is a submitted one and not one chosen through editorial selection. -- Whpq (talk) 10:48, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
