i actually think it would be funny if they did play it with all drummers. however, 1 drum set, and they would tag in and out throughout he song to make it happen. In Chronological order.

Eddie will just take them away from them and toss them in the general direction of whichever part of the audience screams "hey-oh!" the loudest.

BlastEcho regrets to inform Pearl Jam fans that the story about former member Dave Abbruzzese not agreeing to participate at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in April is FALSE. BlastEcho apologizes to Mr. Abbruzzese, Pearl Jam fans and anyone else who was misled by this story. The intent was never "fake news," but rather the result of being duped by someone posing as Mr. Abbruzzese. Our deepest apologies.

Hang on. Wasn't Dave complaining loudly to anyone that would listen a few months ago about not being invited?
There was even a rolling stone article about it I seem to remember?

Now he's not going?
