I have a b00tleg DVD of the "Carl Palmer" band, which is an instrumental trio of Palmer and two young, unknown guys with crazy chops. They play in high gear the whole time. Palmer is one of these guys that appearantly doesn't age like regular humans.

Palmer has a whole kit made of Paiste cymbal alloy! Can you imagine how much those bass drums weigh?
