There are 25 days to go until Def Leppard begin their 2011 UK Tour with Motley Crue in Birmingham.

Motley Crue have announced that Tommy Lee will be bringing his 360 Drum Rollercoaster to the shows for all six dates on the tour. The circular track allows him to go around in a loop during his drum solo with a fan picked from the audience strapped into the seat behind him. Watch the video below.

Motley Crue - News Quote

Mötley Crüe are excited to announce that Tommy Lee will be bringing his mind blowing 360 degree drum roller-coaster to the UK for their December co-headline tour with Def Leppard!

The wonders of the wheel will be spectacularly unveiled during Tommy Lee's thrilling drum solo where he is launched into multiple loops and pyrotechnics while continuing to perform. Not one to keep the fun to himself, the drummer also hand picks a fan from the audience to join him for his crazy ride at every show.

Daredevil, Tommy Lee says "This idea came about from when I was a kid going to concerts. Whenever the drummer started his drum solo, I wondered why people would leave to go get a beer, buy a t-shirt, restroom, whatever!! I wanted to show people what happens behind the drum set, so I decided to expose it all by flipping the drums vertical, upside-down making them disappear and fly over the audiences heads! Mötley Crüe brings you on a thrill ride, jump on the 360! Let's do this! By the way, it's really f*****g difficult playing while on this ride!"
