| Rick Allen - Drums since 1978 |
|---|
A section dedicated to Rick Allen, Def Leppard's drummer. Who joined the band in 1978 shortly after the band had fired original drummer Tony Kenning and used Frank Noon for the E.P. recording. Just 15 at the time Rick proved to be a better musician than anyone else in the band and he quickly became a integral part of Def Leppard.
Rick survived a near fatal car accident on New Year's Eve 1984 in Sheffield, England which took off his left arm. He recovered to regain his throne as the 'Thundergod'. Rick now has his own charitable organisation called Raven Drum. Run by Rick and his wife Lauren Monroe. Rick has recently co-produced his wife's debut album released in November 2007.
