It's pretty shiny to be beating on with sticks

As a tribute to Nicko's collaborative effort in the creation of this unique cymbal, the label "Powerslave" and a rendition of IRON MAIDEN's mascot, Eddie, have been placed on the 22" version of the cymbal.

Hell if you had a set like that we would never see you onstage. They forgot a Sootie.

Every drum has an Eddie from an album except the smallest tom.

rock: WOW! That is SO COOL, Linda!! I can't tell you how proud I am of you! As hard as you work on your drumming skills, I can't wait for the Linda McDonald signature cymbals!rock:
That is also a BADASS drum set! Will it fit in your truck? I don't think Mark and Chris would mind helping you set up and break down a kit like that every gig!

The funniest part is that I am actually standing up in that pic! There was no stool there. I didn't get to play them, I wasn't even supposed to be back there. There were no reps or company peeps around so I jumped up onto the display and threw some horns!

awsome photo, lucky you i love that kit, it was the one he (nicko) used on the give me ed till i'm dead tour, and the dance of death shows in L.A. right ???notworthy

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

I remember reading that someone stole the snare on tour. It's pure white with the Maiden logo on it really big. What a*holes! It's wild how large his toms are yet he uses a 5.5" snare.

One thing I noticed with Nicko's kit when you see it from behind him is the ride (not sure if I'm using the right name - not a drummer!) cymbal is huuuuuuuge and seems to cover half of two toms. How he doesn't accidently smack it all the time I don't know!! I know when I've tried playing drums I always smack the sides of the toms or get my sticks in a fankle!! Oops!

 

[Air Raid Siren]

....get my sticks in a fankle!! Oops!

A fankle! Never heard that one before!! I love learning new and interesting words!

 

[skott with a k]

thanks, aja- i thought i was the only one who hadn't heard that one before

 

[Metallicat180]

Must be another one of my many Scottish-isms. I say that all the time!!
