Eagles Of Death Metal's Dorio Reunited With Drum Kit From Bataclan

(Classic Rock) Eagles Of Death Metal drummer Julian Dorio has been reunited with the kit he was playing during last year's deadly Bataclan terror attacks in Paris. Dorio says the drumkit has damage that is "too heavy to share," although he has described a bullet hole in the kick drum.

Manufacturer C&C Drums restored the kit after it was sent to them by staff at the Paris Bataclan venue. EODM were on stage at the venue when extremist terrorists burst in and killed 89 people on November 13 last year.

C&C Drums had the kit blessed by a priest before returning it to Dorio. Dorio says: "After five months the kit I was playing on November 13 in Paris has returned to me. There was a time when I never wanted to see it again but I just couldn't let this instrument be thrown away.

"If salvageable, it should be used to bring people together, create new music and hopefully add some joy to the world." Read more here.
