Seeing legendary drummers Alan White and Carl Palmer unite under the same bill for this Summer’s successful Yes/Asia tour was certainly a rare treat. During a recent stop, not only did we get a birds-eye view of these giants in action behind some amazing gear (with Carl debuting his spin on our 100th Anniversary Stainless Steel Pro Beat kit,) we at Ludwig witnessed the staying-power of some of the most mammoth music in rock history. Special thanks to Clay Greene for the amazing photos.

Watch an amazing solo by Carl Palmer on his Stainless Steel Pro Beat kit.
