# Ah the Def Leppard Drummer
he crashed at Snake Pass in Sheffield - perhaps he was counting badgers at the time.

# The funny thing is that about ten years ago he had to have his ball and sockey joint replaced in his other arm.

# My first drum tech job.
Interstingly the house chrashed into was that of a midwife having a new years eve party.
She put the whole arm in cocktail ice to take to the hospital. Unfortuntaely bit by bit it became gangreenous sothey removed the whole thing.
The Quo's drummer filled in until the did a gig in Ireland where he did show up and Allan had to do the entire gig.

# the dramatised rockumentary
said it was all St Mutt Langer's work, coaxing him back to the band. I'd like a second opinion on that before I believe it though...

# Not sure of what the reasoning behind it all
but speeding on Snake Pass has taken a lot of people's lives - I was taken down there in a bus during Driver Training and wow my knuckles were as white as Rick's.

# Is that the alternative to the Cat And Fiddle?
Used to drive to see my friend Penny in Sheffield from Congleton. Plenty of deep gullies in which you could espy the rusting remains of rear axles and transmission bell-housings from past accidents

are linked to MIDI triggers or mechanically linked actuators to simulate what his missing arm might hit, drum-wise.

# Sorta true.
MIDI was only use when it was new and cool. I love Audio. Scientific history has people like Galileo, Arkimedes and Einstein.
