From http://www.sleishman.com:
The same year [1995], Roger Taylor (drummer/song writer with the band Queen) was introduced to Sleishman drums in the UK and after hearing in person, Roger ordered a set to be built by Don immediately.
Roger went on to use his Sleishman drums to record the last Queen album with Freddie Mercury on vocals ‘Made In Heaven’.
Queen would later collaborate with writer/comedian Ben Elton to produce ‘We Will Rock You’ the musical. Sleishman of course supplied the drum set for the Australian season.
