Carl Palmer - ELP - 2022 Tour Kit Rundown

Renowned drummer Carl Palmer gave Modern Drummer a tour of his kit during the WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS - THE RETURN OF EMERSON LAKE & PALMER Tour. Being the lone surviving member of the group, Carl, in association with the Estates of his bandmates Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, came up with a way to reunite the band using live footage of Keith and Greg from 1992 on massive video walls. Here is what Carl said about the project: “About five years ago I explored the idea of trying to reunite the band using digital holograms. We saw a few shows of other artists but it did not seem like an honest approach. Then we realized the film we made of ELP’s sold out run at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1992 had everything we needed. We were able to use just the camera shots of Keith and Greg, with the sterling audio tracks of their performances resulting in a combination of film and onstage performance that brings back the magic of ELP.” Gear brands in this video: Ludwig Drums → Remo Drumheads → Paiste Cymbals → Vater Drumsticks → Like what you see?
