As I recall he played a "simple" double bass kit in those days.. much like Bill Ward or Nick Mason used. Nothing like the massive rig he uses today:

Yes.. like "shrink tubing with a hair dryer" or "wrist locks, crisco"
I was probably most proud to be an FZ fan when he blasted the PMRC and the Senate Commerce Committee over the labeling of, and potential censoring of music. This came up in another thread recently, but you may recall Tipper Gore's group that had their knickers in a knot over what music, and lyrics, had become.. and took it on themselves to be crusaders over what America should be listening to.
Ever mindful of intrusive government, FZ, along with Dee Snider and John Denver put these people away. During the testimony, you can hear the gallery laughing and agreeing with his message. I loved the part where he explains to Sen. Al Gore the role of parents vs. government.
From 1985, the
You Tube video of his testimony. It's about 30 minutes and it'll make you an even bigger fan.
As a side note: Not long after his appearance before the Senate Committee, FZ released his "Jazz From Hell" album. Amazingly (or not), it garnered one of the PMRC's warning labels about explicit lyrics.. even though there was not a spoken word on the entire album.
