From Alex tech working on his latest project during his time off from the VH tour.

hey! thought you might want to check out the new ZZ kit I just finished.

I have attached a few photos here. Besides paint , some of the features are :
chrome wrapped interior of the long center tom, that I also cut at a 45 degree angle. I mounted blue LEDs inside so the inside glows blue, reflecting off the chrome. Installed aluminum fuel tanks off each kick drum and installed braided stainless hoses from kicks to tanks to center tom. And I had custom ZZ hood ornaments fabricated and mounted on each kick front hoop. And chrome piston cymbal toppers.

That’s a cool looking set. That painting of the band, however, makes them look REALLY old. You know, even older than they are!

Cool thanks Brian.

JD is a talented man.

He certainly is Pete. I told him that on the phone last night when I was moaning about the cancellation of the Japan shows :roll:

He is the Orange County Choppers of drum kits , he really comes up with some fantastic designs , he should have added some nitrous bottles as well for the extra ‘kick”
