Footnotes

Willie Wilson acquired these drums following his work with Pink Floyd and as Nick Mason's surrogate drummer on 'The Wall Tour'. According to Wilson;...the drums were first purchased for Pink Floyd in 1978 and taken to Super Bear Studios in the south of France for the recording of 'The Wall' album. In 1979 the drums were shipped to Los Angeles for rehearsals and concerts of 'The Wall'. In 1980/81 these drums were played by me at the following concerts: Los Angeles Sports Arena, USA, Nassau Colosseum, New York, USA, Earls Court, London, UK, Westfallenhalle, Dortmund, Germany, Earls Court, London, UK. Also used to re-record tracks for the film 'The Wall'. Additionally, in 1984 these drums were used on David Gilmour's 'About Face' tour and played by Chris Slade.
