Have you guys seen this? I didn't see any posts about it.

Chad Smith's other band is playing at half time today and has a special drum set with logos of AFC and NFC teams on the drums. The drum set will be split into two sets, AFC and NFC, and auctioned off for make-a-wish. Clapping Happy2Clapping Happy2

Right now, more than 75 bidders have driven the prices for the kits to $9,025 (NFC kit) and $12,525 (AFC kit). You can also bid on the Super Bowl XLVIII-logoed drumsticks Chad Smith will use for rehearsal and for the performance.

I'd rather have Cheerios-Corn Flakes-Raisin Bran etc...Cereal Bowl...A Japanese drum company builds the Super Bowl drum set. Meh...

Really,what does that company have to do with US football?

I doubt you would see a US built Lud set at a high profile Japanese game....

It looks very similar to Louis Bellson's 47 Gretsch kit,with that super deep tom in the middle.

I tend to agree on the sentiments about the brand but the proceeds are going to Make-A-Wish, which is cool.

Can't believe DW wasn't all over a marketing opportunity like this.
