What drummer wouldn't want to own a piece of drumming history? Well, here is your chance. At the closing ceremonies of the Olympic games, Bon Jovi will take the stage, and Tico Torres will be rocking the set with his Pearl American Flag drum kit. After the show, the entire band will autograph the kit, and you will have the chance to bid on this very drum set through a special auction on E-Bay. The Auction will benefit The American Music Conference (AMC.) AMC is a national nonprofit educational association affiliate of NAMM that exists to promote the benefits of music, music making and music education to the general public.

The kit was specifically made and played on stage by Tico Torres of Bon Jovi for the Olympics closing ceremonies. This set is from Pearl's renowned Masters Custom MRX line, featuring patented HC/SMS formed 6ply, 7.5mm aged Maple shells, low mass minimum contact lugs, Master Cast die-cast hoops, OptiMount Suspension System tom mounts, and a completely custom high gloss lacquer finish that is a true work of art, hand painted by master drum artist Johnny Douglas especially for the event.
  
The kit was created in sizes preferred by Tico and Bon Jovi for live performance, including two 18"x22" Bass Drums, three toms, 10"x10", 11"x12", 12"x13", two Floor Toms, 16"x16" and 16"x18", and a one of a kind, Free Floating System, mill finish Aluminum UltraCast Snare Drum.
