And I played with two different drummers that used those very light wheels to shine on their kits. One was a stainless steel and chrome wrapped Slingerland double bass set from 1982. The other was an acrylic Ludwig kit in 1980.
One of those drummers figured out how to sync up a pair of strobe lights with those rotating color gels in front og them and added a homemade dry-ice fog machine to the mix. And the really funny part of this story is that at the time, we were the epitome of cool.

Endorsing Artist: GENZ BENZ / SADOWSKY | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Shirley, MA | | I was playing in the Caymen Islands back in the early 80's and a guy walked up to the stage and said "I will give you $100. if you play Louie, Louie" The next song was Louie, Louie even though we never played it and pocketed the $100. From then on it was in the set. Quote:

The bassist has a MORBID Geddy Lee fixation
The guitarist has a MORBID Van Halen fixation
The keyboardist STILL uses a cheesy Yamaha DX-7
The drummer just HAS to have a monstrous mega-overkill double or triple bass drum kit and he STILL can't hit anything in time.

...the bassist's solo includes Hendrix's version of "The Star Spangled Banner".
...your show includes an 8 minute bongo solo.
...the lead singer leaves the stage to glue his teeth back in.
...any member of the band over 40-years-old performs shirtless.
...the drummer has the Muppet "Animal" hanging on his kit wearing a feather boa.
...you can't perform any of your songs without sequenced tracks.
...you work up a segue between Mustang Sally and Brown Eyed Girl (and back again).
(all things I have seen)
