Think he just wanted to make it look "heavy" - Bri once said that by the time 'I want it all" was released people seemed to have forgotten that they were actually a rockband ! So maybe Rog just wanted to make a statement.
I like his really massive sets from the late 70s, with tons of tom-toms and heaps of cymbals. Ludwig, I think ?
Don't really like the sound of the Yamaha-Set from the Magic -Tour.

Agreed.
The late seventies Ludwig kits were fantastic. The 84 kit was smart too. Was it made of steel???
The Wembley kit sounded flat and bloated to me. He also looked very hunched over it as though he was sitting in for someone else!!!

Any but the one from 'Works Tour'...
Mark, I think you'll find that if you listen to the fast part of IWIA, it is played with double bass drums, hence the kit in the video!
I like the one Roger used at the Tribute concert by the way - Ludwig?? I quite like the metallic green one he used on the EF tour too.
I think the Yamaha set is quite nice.
I like the one during 'A Day at the Races'-tour, such a big kit, with a nice round sound :-). Can be seen on Hyde Park and Earls Court.
The Works drumkit is crap...
The Yamaha kit is pretty good, just listen to Budapest 1986, nice crystal sound :-).

Ludwig with Zildjah.
By the way, when Roger answered that type of question he named the kit from 1979/1980 tours (don't remember the title, sorry, maybe Sleishman or something like that).

For me it's the '82 tour drumkit. I think the Works tour drumkit was the worst of all.
1. Roger's current Sleishmann kit is beautfiul sounding.
2. Magic Tour Kit: beatiful crisp sounding
You can't get worse than the 1984/1985 kit.The electronic pads particularly ruin songs, and Live Aid would sound much better without them.

I also think that IWIA really does feature a double bass drum. There also could be some double bass stuff on IABD (reprise).

Just a question, but why does the drumsets from the Works tour sound shallow? It's the worst of the lot, I think?
I like the late 70s sound (live) most - I guess Ludwig or Sleishman. On records I even like the old "Trident" sound on some songs (if there wasnt that much reverb) - like on TNCD, KYA, GKR etc.
I guess that the weak 84 sound comes from the new stage-set. On the Hot Space tour the drums sound really alive, thanks for the spare use of syndrums.
IWIA is indeed with double bass during to solo. But I think they just used the double-bass kit for the video - to look cooler, no idea. By the way, IWIA is a nice video IMO, I remember when I saw it first, I thought "wow, that's a real band!" - they look really matre on it, very professional (except for some Roger-esque "I hate sync"-passages)
Live and album drumsounds are two worlds. But it depends on microphoning too, the mic positions, mic company, and of course sound engineer. A live sound which comes out of the PA sounds different from to that which is recorded - of course it's the same signal. I unfortunately never heard Queen really live, only from recordings, so I cant tell if the 84's drum sound live was really that crap as on the recordings.

i really like the synth drums on 'put out the fire' and 'AOBTD' in the Hot Space Tour....
