Brush with greatness; I played the Sistine Chapel set on a gig!

This past weekend my band shared the stage with another band at a local festival. The drummer for the other band had the drum set I knew as Bobby Rock's "Sistine Chapel" Peavey drum set. I could hardly believe my eyes. I saw Bobby play this set in the 90s and thought it was one of, if not the most beautiful set I had ever seen. I got Bobby to sign my shirt when I saw him play this kit at a clinic. He had crashed his van and still made it to the performance, and he played like a monster. The drummer for the other band let me play them for our show, and it was a thrill. He wouldn't consider selling them to me though.
