Two former Frank Zappa drummers go at it. The amount of time it must have taken just to assemble these two kits... well, kingdoms have surely risen and fallen in less of an expanse.
My temptation to poke a bit of fun at Terry Bozzio and Chad Wackerman (heroes of my college years, mind you) for this exercise in bombast is mitigated by the fact that I probably could have written a novel or two in the time I expended making connections from one YouTube video to another in order to end up here.
Wow, and people actually criticized Carl Palmer for his custom made stainless steel kit in the 1970's. At least CP used all the parts of that kit, CW and TB could have easily done most of what they did in that clip with a double bass drum/6 toms = two small ones on a stand > two on the bass drum > two floor toms/cymbals/snare kit.
Thanks for the clip, though. Chad Wackerman is way cute.
