15 years agoID these drums? Possibly Premier XPK, Vitria?
I think it probably is a Premier, as those lugs look the same from the photos, and the amber is spot-on to the actual Premier example you posted. Howe...
15 years agoKeith Moon - Who Are You (isolated drum track)
I love both drummers, but they couldn't be further apart, even though Peart notes Moon as an influence. An interesting footnote to this debate: On Rus...
15 years agoKeith Moon - Who Are You (isolated drum track)
Moon was persuaded to simplify his playing on later Who stuff, so that's why this playing is simpler. I t works for the track, but it's not the best s...

Lovely kit! I have that snare too! Will keep an eye out for an arm!
15 years agoDrum set for 1 MIL
A mockery, well, yes, that's got to be the explanation!! Thing is, it's too convincing! We all have an image of some burnt-out acid casualty in our he...
15 years agoDrum set for 1 MIL
That's truly hilarious.! I doubt whether Danny Carey laid down his grooves on that for a start - I'm sure he uses a bigger set. 'Channel the soul of B...
