How can you tell a drummer’s at the door?

I have the answer to this question.

Here is the odd story:

I was in Miami for Art Basel and Art Miami. My wife and I decided to also go to Scope another art show. While there, I saw an autographed photo of her with the glove thing on and I recognized it from my child hood.

It is part of toy called: **Commander Zack Power Powerarm Lightning Cycle**

You can see used ones on ebay.

The glove had batteries in a wrist pack and you would electric contacts on the thumb and index fingers - you pinch the backpack electrical leads of Commander Zack while his motorcycle was in a launcher with the backwheel raised up. The back wheel would spin and the once it was spinning fast you push a button on the launcher and the motorcycle took off. It was a crappy toy but the glove looked very cool.  
Oddly, I always wanted to be in a band and remember thinking the glove would be a great prop.

I almost bought the signed photo at the show, but it was a few thousand and I could not really justify it, but I also told the gallery guy what the glove was - we laughed about the story.

I don’t think anyone really knows about that toy.

he said he heard they found the glove in a garbage can or thrift store or something like that.

funny story though.

Here is a photo:

It certainly matches what you see in the original photoshoot, including the cord and the decal.
