Chris Stankee of Sabian: The Accidental Drum Tech

[SABIAN's Chris Stankee travels with Neil Peart on the RUSH Tour]

In one of my updates posts from last month I mentioned how Chris Stankee of Sabian Cymbals had to fill in as Neil Peart's drum tech for a few shows because of regular drum tech Lorne Wheaton (aka Gump) having an emergency appendectomy. He also got to be Neil's riding partner for a few days on top of that.

Last week Chris posted a great article at Sabian.com chronicling the entire experience along with a bunch of great pictures. The article is in 2 parts; part 1 here and part 2 here. It's a really fun read; the photos are especially worth checking out. Many thanks to windycitygirl for the heads up.
