Def Leppard is on MTV right now, and they keep showing close ups of the drummer, and I just cannot figure out how he does it! He is good...

He was a good drummer in his own right when he had both arms but now he uses a bit of trickery. ;)

" Most electronic drums use piezoelectric triggers which sense a hit from a drumstick or a pedal and activate a sampled or synthesized sound in response. The customized kit built by Simmons for Allen included drum pads (placed primarily in front of Allen and to his right) triggering the sound of the snare drum and toms, to be played with his surviving arm, combined with multiple pedals (mainly placed on the floor to his left) duplicating many of the same sounds. This allowed Allen (after much practice) to play patterns using his right hand and left foot that two-armed drummers would typically play with their right and left hands. Allen subsequently experimented with hardware from other electronic percussion companies, such as Clavia's drum system, Forat's F/16 system, and the Hart Dynamics Acupad system. "

Talent, Plus a lot of determination not to give up. I think a lot of bands would have kept going and left him behind, I think its great that they stuck by him and gave him the support he needed to overcome his tragedy.
