Drum Kit
Until 2008, Taylor exclusively used Ludwig or Sleishman drum kits, or a combination of the two in the 2005 Return of the Champions Tour. In the recent Queen + Paul Rodgers 2008 The Cosmos Rocks tour he opted for a DW kit.

Famous quotes containing the word drum:
“Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
As his corse to the rampart we hurried;”
