Criss Angel Plays Drums?

Submitted by King on Thu, 03/06/2008 - 10:38

Who would have thought the Mindfreak himself was a drummer. Not me...but recently I was online and found some awesome pictures of his new drumkit! It seems that Criss and Sully Erna of Godsmack have become close friends since the shooting of the new video for Mindfreak. So close that when Criss expressed a curiosity for the drums Sully made some calls to his people at Yamaha and Sabian to surprise Criss with this custom kit for his birthday! You can catch the actual episode during season 4 of Mindfreak on A&E. Enjoy the new video we have posted under MF2 and check out the pics of this magical work of art!
