He's done a lot for wounded warriors. What makes Def Leppard so inspiring is how they never gave up on Rick. Especially in an industry that has no problems stabbing people in the back.
ive said this on a few def leppard videos lately, im disabled and one thing 'my people' face a lot is people saying 'oh you cant do that, just sit there and be a good boy' because they automatically just assume we wont be able to do something, and that really winds me up, so i also love the way the bands attitude was not to kick him out and let him decide for himself whether or not he could carry on, we need more people like the def leppard boys with that attitude.
That would have to require skill beyond belief! He is living proof that human beings can find a way to overcome any diversity in their lives.Rick is such a huge inspiration and the definition of a real man.When you fall -you get back up.

What a great guy, and now this system/method Rick has developed has actually given DL a tighter sound. Talk about not giving up on life. A total inspiration to anyone experiencing tragedy.
Todd Lavigne inspirational by all members of DefLep. Obviously rick worked hard to be able to continue playing but the other members never gave up on him and continued to encourage him. Respect to all

One of if not my all time favorite!!!!!! Rick Allen was, is, and always will be the Thunder God!!!!!!!! He’s a real inspiration to me!!! What I wouldn’t give just to say hello to him!!!!
I used to be a rock drummer for many rock bands in the 90's and I never wore shoes when performing at a gig. I had this thought that I wanted to "feel" the drum kit when I played it. I am an old man now and have gone to playing bass guitar as my primary instrument, but its still real fun to me to play the drums in my studio.
On hysteria the drums are programmed, just like on pyromania. Not because Rick couldn't do it but because of the way the producer choose to record the songs.
I play guitar not drums but I cite Rick as inspiration to forge ahead. I used to play left-handed like Jimi Hendrix or Kurt Cobain even though I'm naturally right-handed (my left-handed aunt taught me so I just copied how she played.) Then after I broke my left hand riding my bicycle, I considered giving up on guitar but then my aunt shared Rick's story with me, summing it up by saying "If Rick could continue his music adventures with only _one_ arm, you surely can with _both_ of yours." So I started playing right-handed as my aunt and doctors thought that would strengthen the fingers on my left hand, which it did. So thank you for inspiring me to quit moping and get on with playing Rick, you are forever a hero and a legend!!!!
God bless you rick. I really like the day you hung out with me at conjeo off road. I was repairing your wife's jeep.. thanks for autographing all my CDs
"Most days it sounds like we're building a garden shed..." Nothing but modesty. I've been fortunate to see him live twice and, even with one arm, he was, is, and always will be, the Thunder God. Oh, and Rocket, I always thought that live, it was probably some background recording trick. And, so, Rick continues to blow my mind!

Amazing kit. A great drummer prior to the accident, On through the night etc, so he has just adapted but you have to have the initial talent to be able to do this
True personal Rick Allen story for you all.......I was a MASSIVE Def Leppard fan in my teens...obsessed is a better word! I met the lads many times here in Melbourne Australia and I still have photos of me drinking at a pub with Rick and the rest of the band. But one visit and prank I'll never forget as long as I live......we were back stage for a meet & greet at The Melbourne Tennis Centre (now called Rod Laver Arena) in 1993 for the in the round Adrenalize Tour, I was 18 years old and was alone with Rick and Vivian Campbell and I was so excited......I asked them both if I could have my picture taken with them, then they suggested I get one of just the two of them.....so when I was taking the photo Rick kept telling me to move backwards for a better angle....who was I to argue with my hero so I kept stepping back, he and Vivian started to laugh as they completely stitched me up, I went completely ass up as I fell backwards over a stool/chair that I didn't realise was behind me.......Bastards the two of them lol Seriously they laughed so hard and Rick was so proud of his practical joke.....it was hilarious and they both apologised...whilst laughing their heads off (especially Rick) and they gave me a huge hug afterwards!! Later on Rick gave me a few of his drumsticks with his engraved autograph and we met years later and I showed him the pictures from years earlier and he still remembered me and his practical joke lol Rick if you ever read this comment....thank you my friend and God Bless🙌😊
me: "nah!.... play drums is too hard to learn to me..." - seeing a man playing drums professionally with one arm. - me: "ok I'm feeling like a piece of shit right now."
If you have one of those moments where you think you cannot do something because you think it is impossible: Look at this guy, try it again. Because if you can play drums with one arm and pull it off, you can pull off anything!

Unlike KISS did with Eric Carr -_-
Drumming without a left arm. That truely is talent at its finest!
psxgaming74 He’s a human metronome.
if i lost my left arm while being in a rock band i would retire. this man is a hero an inspiration
Always loved on the way the band stuck by his side thru it all.
can't same the same about his arm, amirite?
ive said this on a few def leppard videos lately, im disabled and one thing 'my people' face a lot is people saying 'oh you cant do that, just sit there and be a good boy' because they automatically just assume we wont be able to do something, and that really winds me up, so i also love the way the bands attitude was not to kick him out and let him decide for himself whether or not he could carry on, we need more people like the def leppard boys with that attitude.
They even let him have the rehearsing room smelling like hippie commune all day
That would have to require skill beyond belief! He is living proof that human beings can find a way to overcome any diversity in their lives.Rick is such a huge inspiration and the definition of a real man.When you fall -you get back up.
Wow in 2 seconds you can hear the Def Leppard sound...Didn't realize how much Rick's drumming was part of the band's sound
Right away I was able to tell I know this then once he played the snare I knew it was rocket right away. Rocket has a unique sound
Truly amazing. When I saw them live, both times people were bowing down to show their admiration for him.

Yes, I should have mention a kudos to the whole band. Incredible story of faith and determination
He seemed to play a recent gig I saw with a smile on his face the entire time. What a great guy!
for anyone who's got an excuse, he's got an answer
his left arm doesn't hurt! *joking*
He's great!

@@rickallen6027 oh no it's nega Rick, Rick Allen's evil counterpart who never played drums but just scams people
Ikr... My sentiments exactly
Much respect and admiration for this dude!!!!
Without a Doubt, one of my biggest heroes!!
One of if not my all time favorite!!!!!! Rick Allen was, is, and always will be the Thunder God!!!!!!!! He’s a real inspiration to me!!! What I wouldn’t give just to say hello to him!!!!
Rick has been my biggest inspiration and favorite drummer for 33 years now. He's an incredible man.
Love U Rick
GOD Bless U.
When he talked about the kit having "less moving parts", I couldn't help but chuckle. Cool dude.

Fuckin A Rick! God bless ya Brother! And thanks for all you music over the years.
Might be interesting to point out that Hysteria, their biggest selling album was done by Rick with one arm!
mrsneaky2010 yeah, isn’t that crazy!?
Hysteria was their comeback after over 2 years long waiting for Rick to recover as well as it had been possibile😀
That was him at his absolute greatest too
On hysteria the drums are programmed, just like on pyromania. Not because Rick couldn't do it but because of the way the producer choose to record the songs.
Rick Allen is a force of nature!!!!
Outstanding , rock on Rick Allen.

Seeing this legend in the flesh in November as Def Leppard do their famous album hysteria in full!
Rick Allen un gran maestro de los tambores y un ejemplo a seguir.... mis mas grandes respetos y un abrazo maestro

Your a god amongst men rick. Don't ever think k you aren't. I've idolized you my entire life. God bless you

The Epitome of Human Perserverance. Amazing example of courage, and setting the example for others.
That bit he demonstrated with the hi-hat loop turned into "Rocket".

Man, I am so impressed. Never really been a Def fan.. sorry, but this Dudes effort to find a way to keep drumming is very, very cool. Go man, go!
Amazing kit. A great drummer prior to the accident, On through the night etc, so he has just adapted but you have to have the initial talent to be able to do this
As a drummer... This is sensational. RA is the father of invention.

Check out Brian L one arm drummer. He holds both sticks in one hand !
Rocket yer thunder God a legend
I would love to see a drummer not use to this drum set to try to use it. This guy is amazing.
Best drummer in the world..
Wouldn't mind being on that 'garden shed' job with him!
Wow. Yea smell is like a 6th sense. I smell old perfume or something else it brings memories. Good call Rick.
I remember my sister used to use this kind of scented chapstick stuff when I was really young and one day I smelled it somewhere, and -- bam!!! a flood of memories came rushing into my mind instantly. Very strange.
