Above is a 4 minute video of drummer Neil Peart talking about the making of his drum kit for their 40th anniversary tour. Made out of a 1500 year old oak log found buried in the Alt River of Romania (with photos of the log being taken out of the river). He loved the sound of the very dense wood.
I always find it interesting to think of the differences between then and now.
Very interesting.
Many thanks for posting.
Cheers!
