Ex Kaiser Chief Nick Hodgson to auction of 'remarkable' drum kit played at Glastonbury for NHS
Founding Kaiser Chiefs member and former drummer Nick Hodgson is auctioning off a "remarkable" drum kit to raise money for NHS heroes.
Hodgson, 42, had the kit custom made when he played for Leeds indie legends Kaiser Chiefs.
Hodgson went to school at St Mary's, Menston, before studying at Leeds Trinity in Horsforth and going on to form the band Parva, who became Kaiser Chiefs.
In a video posted to his Instagram account, he said: "It is the first custom-built drum kit I ever had.
"It is made by Brady, an Australian company which doesn't exist anymore, which only adds to the value.
"If you look up Brady drum kits you will see that they are amongst the best in the world
"This kit was played by me on 'Ruby', 'The Angry Mob' and all of that second album."
Hodgson left the band in 2012 to focus on songwriting and solo work and has since worked with Dua Lipa, Olly Murs, Duran Duran and Shirley Bassey.
The auction, on July 4, is being held by Dawsons Auctioneers.
Hodgson added: "It really is a remarkable drum kit - I've played it at Glastonbury, countless festival and countless tours - it really is a beautiful kit.
"There's three in the world, I had three custom built, but this was the first.
"I'm hoping that it's going to raise a lot of money for the NHS charities, so tell your friends."
