In Adams' will, he left the drum to the Guardians. They haven’t decided where it will rest at Progressive Field, but one pair of Adams’ mallets will be sent to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
“When I was a little kid at the ballpark, sitting in the bleachers, John would stop and talk to me and take pictures every time,” said Jerome Petukauskas, who came to the wake with his friend Frank Wrick. “We’re just fans. He wouldn’t know who I was, but honest to God I felt I had to come to pay my respects because he was such a nice man.”The sign seemed out of place.
A few times the Coopers climbed to the top of the bleachers and sat next to Adams as his bass drum thundered. “John was walking by headed for his seat and he stopped and watched the concert. I was standing right next to him and said, ‘You get over there where you belong . John said, “Can I?’” “He’d come on and play two or three songs with us on the full drum kit. Then he’d go out in the crowd and for the next two hours you’d see him talking to people and taking pictures.”
“He asked me what I thought about the drum,” said Buynak, who attended the wake. “I said, ‘I guess it’s OK as long as they don’t kick you out.’” When fans were able to attend games again in 2021, Adams was absent because of series of serious health problems. He eventually had to leave his home and move into a nursing home.
