What is an NFT?
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, a form of digital ledger, that can be sold and traded.[1] Types of NFT data units may be associated with digital files such as photos, videos, and audio. Because each token is uniquely identifiable, NFTs differ from blockchain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin.

About the Crash Book
Foreward by Carl Palmer
HERE WE HAVE one of the most important collections of drums kits in the world—truly one of a kind.
This collection of drum sets tells the complete story of rock drumming. The equipment that is seen in this book shows the start of many groundbreaking trends that have gone on to influence both manufactures and drummers alike.
It’s the first time equipment of this caliber has been documented so carefully and all in one book. This is a must-have book for those wanting to understand the progression of the drum set, changes in drum styles and configurations throughout the years, and most importantly, the different materials used to make these drums—from stainless steel to aluminum and exotic woods, to various high-end plastics—all of which still shapes the way drum sets are made today!
It’s all here in the book, along with some of the unbelievable creativity that has been used over the years to decorate these drums and make them each unique in their own right.
Someone had to put this collection together and David has done just that. For all of the drummers around the world, it’s incredible to have this drum set history presented in one book for the whole world to see.
Sit back and enjoy!
