DEF LEPPARD: Video Tour Of RICK ALLEN's Drum Kit - Dec. 13, 2012
In the three-minute video clip below, DEF LEPPARD drummer Rick Allen's drum tech Jeff gives the viewer a quick tour of Rick's kit during the 2012 Rock Of Ages tour in Indianapolis, Indiana.

DEF LEPPARD will play its 1987 album "Hysteria" in its entirety as part of the Las Vegas residency, which is scheduled to kick off at the end of March.

Viva Hysteria! follows Hard Rock residencies from MÖTLEY CRÜE and GUNS N' ROSES.

Tickets are on sale now and start at $49.50, with floor seats going for $125.

"We're very happy to be part of what I call the first wave of rockers to take Vegas back from the lounge singers — Wayne Newton and his type," said singer Joe Elliott.

"Things like 'Run Riot', 'Don't Shoot Shotgun' and 'Love And Affection' got left by the wayside because of the popularity of other songs that, to be frank, if you don't play them live, you don't get out of the building alive," Elliott added. "The oddest thing is going to be doing 'Pur Some Sugar On Me' fifth. In many respects, it's like the TROGGS opening with 'Wild Thing'."

"In Las Vegas, you have to give people something they can't see anywhere else," said Bobby Reynolds, vice president of booking at AEG Live.

Much love to Rick, but this is the most scammed-out drum set ever. Between his tech and the loops, what does he actually do?

This bloke learned to play with 2 arms. All his life. Then he lost 1 arm. And you know what he did? He fucking locked himself in a room for almost 2 YEARS, every day, and taught himself to play with 1 arm. The courage that man showed to do what he did and not only get back up onstage, but do it in front of THE WORLD, was incredible.
Rick Allen is a legend of a man and a musician and you fucking morons having a go at him while sitting on your asses doing NOTHING with your lives should watch his story and learn what it's like to actually make something of yourself.
Rick Allen has earnt the right to do it however he wants!

BlackRock you obviously have no idea what a loop is or how he uses them in the context of the songs. He plays everything that he did with his left arm now with his left foot. Thus the full set of peddles for his left and right feet.

before you speak again go study what a trigger is and what a drum loop is. Then watch Rock play drums and you will understand what an amazing drummer he is.

Oh and by the way Neil Peart from Rush uses Loops and Triggers and has been for over 2 decades and he has 2 arms.

so on behalf of all musicians and music fans around the world BlackRock stfu

Apparently, Allen was arrested many times for beating the shit out of his wife in drunken rages, even with 1 arm. All that pent up frustration with losing your arm has got to be tough. and credit must be given for him sticking with drums. But let's be honest, he wasn't a very good drummer even with 2 arms.

I actually play drums, and I can play Def Leppard songs with one arm!
I admire his hard work coming back from his injury, but the fact remains that drumming to their music with one arm, loops, triggers and a drum tech isn't that big of a deal. Hence, my posting.

And no, I don't know anything about triggers, because I don't use them!

Now, can you think of a better sign-off than "stfu"?
