Never heard that expression 'drum castle' but I'm definitely nicking it!
Someone on here suggested Peter Criss - he has to be as guilty as your example, surrounded by a never ending drum kit and playing 4/4 on the hihats and snare all night long.

I remember my mate (a drummer) saying he went to see Dire Straits and the drummer had about 4 thousand drums but didn't actually play them, except to show off on the start of Money for nothing (or summit)
What a load of self indulgent ego ridden shite.
That's f***ing ridicules that like, that points to a drummer that plays the drums and not the song.
Couldn't agree more. It's like a gutarist having a guitar with 250 strings on.
What like this?

It points to a drummer with a tiny cock and a massive ego.
Or simply one of those ridiculous multi neck guitars.
Fuck off, just fuck off.

I've got to disagree here. Partially anyway.
There's some drummers that fit into the category you're describing... all drums and no talent, but Neil Peart certainly isn't one of them.
The more albums a band writes, the more additional drums get added to the kit along the way so that the drummer has the correct sounds available to him when he needs them for any particular song.
Now don't get me wrong, a good drummer can play a kit whether it's made up of 3 drums or 30, but if you've got a repertoire like Rush's where the music has been evolving constantly throughout their history then the only option for the drummer is to have an enormous kit like that (unless the band are totally redefining the sound of every song for that particular tour, but generally fans want the songs to sound like they do on the album they first appeared on).
See, I can see the sense in a guitar with 3 of those necks if the band has only 1 guitarist and the song requires a 12-string, a 6-string and a fretless, but the other 2 necks are surely just excessive?

Funny you posting that pic.I was just watching cheap trick on you tube and the guitarist was playing one of those dream police was the track.
Din't be daft man Fyl, you just need a kit with a snare a bass and a couple of tom toms, crash and a hi hat and jobs a good un, anything else is silly excess.
Similarly with guitars, just a normal guitar is needed, after all you only need three chords to play most decent songs anyway.

I must have cloth ears then, cos they were pompous, squeaky, tune-deficient, toe-freezing anti-music dinosaurs when I was at school, and they were still pompous, squeaky, tune-deficient, toe-freezing anti-music dinosaurs last time I was foolish enough to click on a youtube link from one of their comatose legion on here.
Sorry like!

There was actually a better live version of Dreaming on youtube but it must have been pulled as that one was the only one I could find last night........
now i suppose this has been done, but bonham is obvious, but bill ward was pretty tasty...and mitch mitchell, these are obvious though,,,,though zappa drummers had to be good,,....
Rick Neilsen is a great guitarist - the multi necked guitar is a joke (which he plays up to).According to the link, I think that picture IS the Cheap Trick guitar.
