Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen at his art gallery showing in King of Prussia 2/19/16. They put a drum kit from some local music store in there and before he took some photos by his work, he sat down for a second and drummed a bit. He lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984 and went on to create a drum kit where he could use his feet to take the place of his arm.
