Good grief this is exciting. Since time immemorial, man has sought to attain but one accolade - that is, to become a winner of an Index blog competition. Many have battled in vain for such an award. Naomi Davidson won (amidst some controversy) the last and is now all the richer for having seen the mighty
Asia dans concerto. But now, as if it were possible, the stakes have been raised even higher (I'd say the stakes are now at least eight feet in height). For, friends, the prize metaphorically dangling in front of your eyes now is the chance to rewrite a little bit of history (the history of the future, looking back to now). If, and I mean if, you can correctly answer the following question, then you will win the right to propose a topic about which I must write in a future blog post. That's right, whatever you'd like to be featured in this blog (bearing in mind this is a blog representing Index - which means, as far as I'm aware, that it can have a tittle but not too much tattle), will be, albeit in the DC style. So it may be something of an 'irreverent' look, depending on the subject - that will be up to me, you only get to choose the subject. Goodness I didn't think it would be this complicated. Anyway, maybe it's a serious topic you think folks (and me) need to know about. Maybe it's something you'd like to know more about but can't be bothered to research yourself. Whatever, I'll do all the work. Sounds good? Here's that all important question.
What kind of magnificent drumkit is featured in this photograph, and who is behind (and in front) of it?
No one who can view the script of this blog is allowed to enter (that means you Mikey). Otherwise, happy hunting. Oh, and to any drumming buffs out there, I know that, technically, this picture shows two kits, but you know what I mean.

either A) nobody's visited the site in ages or B) no one has a clue... personally I fit in category B. sorry!
Well your honesty is commendable even if your ignorance with regard to this matter is deeply regrettable. Indeed, it seems even the drummers amongst the Index lot have scarce an idea as to the history of their instrument, with Barnesy in particular worthy of a naming and shaming. Nonetheless, it warms the cockles of my heart to see the picture every time I visit the blog, which I suppose at the end of the day is the most important thing anyway.
A clue for anyone interested, then - 'Earthworks'
I was just doing my evening rounds when I came across this wonderfully encouraging piece of news - although you haven't got the question entirely right (the official Bill Bruford website gives a wrong source for this photo) it was blimin' close enough, especially since you beat Naomi. So, congratulations. Anyway, just wanted to let you know asap that you are indeed correct, and the prize is yours, so now feel free to turn in for the night - I'm sure you'll enjoy a contented night's sleep.
There will be updates to the post tomorrow.
Gutted! I had it! Thats it now Andrew, this is a dual!! Let the best wo/man win?! Come on DC get the next tedious question up!!
