"Pictures of Lily"
1966-1967
Premier Music Intl., Ltd.
Keith Moon received this drum set at the beginning of the Who's 1967 U.S. tour and used it extensively for the performances that followed. The custom artwork features nude photos of Lily Langtry, the subject of the Who's 1967 single "Pictures of Lily." The psychedelic design incorporates a Union Jack and the text "Keith Moon Patent British Exploding Drummer," a reference to Moon's tendency to pack his drum shells with flash powder and detonate them onstage. The two original bass drums are lost, possibly destroyed by Moon's pyrotechnics. |
