"Going to be doing some aluminum drum sets and they are being design by Dale Crover. Very very excited about this. One of the best drummers of all time! Go see the Melvins and get the new record, its damn good."

It's the same people who made Buzz's guitar. Should be cool! Interested to hear what aluminium drums sound like.

Dale got a job? 

[gesundheit]

This is rad!!!

But why not both of them? Hello? Matching drum sets are crucial.

[(((O)))]

Can you imagine the amount of shine there's gonna be coming off the stage? Bad enough with Buzzo's guitar. Sunglasses all round!!!

Dale is so fucking cool.  If it was ANYBODY else I'd be skeptical.   

[>>>JZS<<<]

Holy Shit !

ALUNIMUM!?!   I mean...  ALUMINIUM??!?!!

as long as it doesn't sound anything like a steel drum.

danny carey does use a bronze set. and dale and coady's sets are very different. i think only the kicks and snares are the same.

oops,  I did it again.

Danny has a multitude of sets to choose from...I believe somewhere along the way he has also had an aluminum set.

I'm not sure of the specifics but I thought Coady and Dale had matching kits built around the time NWB came out and they had the article in one of the drumming magazines showcasing the setup. I'm pretty sure this includes toms. The kicks are definitely similar (at least in finish and most likely material of the wood) but I'm not sure about the snares.

Didn't Bonham have an Aluminum set at one point?

[ManWithNoName]

No, he does not. He's extremely talented and knows his shit. He's named dropped Crover on numerous occasions.

But hey, don't listen to me. Listen to Divorce.

Danny Carey's set is made out of melted down, used cymbals. I think they said the snare alone weighs like 100 lbs.
