I'd figure they'd use Wilt as the drummer, sort of an homage to the drummer from Def Leppard, who lost an arm in a car wreck and had a special drum kit built for him that he can play with his foot...but then, if this is going to be a Spinal Tap spoof, I wouldn't wish the gig of drummer for that band on anyone(except Bendy or Goofball)! Those of you who saw the movie will know what I mean, lol!

Although Wilt would be pretty cool as a drummer, he would still be able to play the keyboard. Earlier this year, I was asked to sing for The Black Country's junior keyboard ensemble at a performing arts gig that was going on the weekend I went to Germany. And while I was stood back stage, waiting to go on I watched the kids playing Radio Ga Ga, and one of the kids was only playing with his right hand. If he knew how to use a keyboard properly, Wilt would probably be able to play pretty effectively, after all, playing a keyboard is basically only using your right hand any way, and you only use your left hand for chords. He'd probably have a little trouble with piano though... But on a keyboard, playing along with a band, it'd be awesome.

Still, Wilt as drummer sounds brilliant, but I think I'd be pretty happy if he was playing a keyboard. I probably wouldn't shut up about the fact that Wilt played the same instrument as me XD
