According to Jason Peterson (ha!), a video does exist. Looks like all 
his
screen shots are from the Whole Lotta Love video, though. ;-)

I can say that playing drums with your hands is fairly difficult. I've
tried, but I always use the "conga" approach (hit the rim and head at 
the
same time). The drummer from Guster plays _everything_ with his bare 
hands.

4/26 and 4/27 are both about 18 minutes... I prefer the former. Plant
sounds like a madman.

Did he just put it on there when Moby Dick came around? I've only 
seen one
picture with it, and that was the one taken during the LZII recording
sessions. I have a bigass Salsa cowbell mounted on the center of my 
kick,
and a smaller one on my floor tom.
