  The drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car crash. It took 2 yrs learn how to play drums again. The band waited for him.There;s several foot pedals he use his left foot to play the parts his left hand would&apos;ve played &nbsp;Great songs &quot;Rock of Agea&quot; &quot;Photograph&quot; &quot;Foolin&quot;.They were great in concert.That same round stage &amp; lasers

  Rick Allen drumming with one arm is inspiring. He wasn&apos;t born that way though. It was a car accident. It was sewn back on and amputated due to infection. If you think about it, he lost it twice.

  @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHlsp7TioII&amp;t=640">10:40</a> that look when you realize the drummer only has one arm and you start to wonder what&apos;s really possible

  If you go watch some videos of their work before then, like Bringin&apos; On the Heartbreak, Foolin&apos;, or Photograph, you can see him performing with 2 arms. The drummer lost his arm in a car accident in 1984. &nbsp;He was only 21 years old when it happened. &nbsp;He decided he still wanted to be a drummer, and adopted an electronic drum set that allowed him to control more of his drums using his feet instead of his now missing arm. &nbsp;It took him 2 years to recover and learn how to play, and the band waited for him, opting not to get a new drummer. &nbsp;Consequently, this album, Hysteria, is their best selling, most popular album.

  First album after drummer Rick Allen&apos;s car accident where he lost his left arm. It was 80&apos;s. Song is on the 1987 album, Hysteria. And last album before guitarist Steve Clark (long blond hair) passed away in 1991. This album, and the previous album Pyromania, were huge.

  Rick Allen got into a horrible car accident. He got ejected from the car but his arm got caught in the seat belt. <br>But the fact is, it says a lot about the friendship and the loyalty of the other band members that they waited until he recovered, until he was built a special drum set and until he learned to master it.

  Allen lost his arm in an accident. The group waited until he learned to play with just one arm to go back out on tour.

  I went to see Def Leppard back in 2017, just to watch these guys. And to watch one of the greatest drummers of all time. Rick is amazing. <br>Also check out Rens new song. Fred again mash up.

  How does Def Leppard drummer play with one arm?<br><br>Equipment. Allen has used custom-manufactured cable routing by Whirlwind. He uses four electronic pedals for his left foot to play the pieces he used to play with his left arm, which from left to right trigger sounds of a closing hi-hat, bass drum, snare drum, and a tom drum.
