Def Leppard percussionist leads drum circle in T.O.
Rick Allen knows the healing power of drums and came to share it in Conejo Valley on Sunday afternoon.
Allen's nonprofit organization, Raven Drum Foundation, sponsored a drum circle at Chumash Interpretive Center in Thousand Oaks that was attended by about 70 people.
The drummer from rock group Def Leppard, Allen lost his left arm after his Corvette rolled over in 1984. He resumed his career by using electronic technology to adapt his drum kit to his needs and still plays with the group.
