Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has donated a piece of his drum kit — and his signature — to help raise money for a U.K. charity.
When you make a donation to sponsor drummer Mike Dolbear‘s run in the Halstead & Essex Half Marathon May 8, you’ll get a chance at winning a Paiste 2000 Reflections 14-inch thin crash cymbal used by Mason on Floyd’s 1987 album “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” and signed by Mason.
Dolbear, co-founder of drummers’ Web site mikedolbear.com, will run just more than 26 miles to benefit the Teenage Cancer Trust, devoted to improving the lives of children and young adults with cancer.
“Every £2.50 of sponsorship will earn one chance to win, so £25 will earn 10 chances,” Dolbear explains. “There no maximum donation.
“When you have made a donation, please send an email to charityrun@mikedolbear.com with your name, contact details and the amount that you have donated. When I have completed the run, Nick Mason will pull a name out of the hat and the lucky winner will receive the cymbal.”
The winner will also receive a certificate of authenticity and a copy of “Momentary Lapse.”
As of this writing, Dolbear has raised £390.
