NICK BARKER - Selling Leg Spikes And Drum Kit
July 17, 2009, 14 years ago
British extreme metal drummer Nick Barker's pair of leg spikes, worn in the DIMMU BORGIR video, 'Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse', and the official promo photos for their 2003 album Death Cult Armageddon, are currently for sale on eBay UK. The starting bid is £99.99. To view the auction, which ends July 23rd, click here.
Also up for grabs is Barker's one of a kind, handmade to order Pearl Masterworks custom all black 10ply maple drum kit. It comes complete with custom special-order black Paiste cymbals, full Pearl Icon curved rack and SKB lined hardcases. The shells can be seen in the Dimmu Borgir video, 'Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse' (unfortunately Paiste couldn't get the custom black cymbals out to Nick in time for the filming). Barker then went on to play the kit on the three-week European tour back in 2003 in support of Death Cult Armageddon, as well as recording the 2005 ANAAL NATHRAKH BBC Radio 1 "Peel Sessions" at Maida Vale studios in London. These were the only times Nick ever really played the kit, hence its many years in storage and almost near mint condition. The starting bid is £6,799.99. The auction, which ends July 23rd, can be viewed at this location.
