And Who guitarist Pete Townshend also joined the list of crock stars "Crock stars"?
after decades of pounding his kit caused vertebrae to crush his spinal cord
Does this make much sense?
Is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble with this piece?

A “kit” is a “drum kit,” which is the same thing as a “drum set.”

after decades of pounding his kit caused vertebrae to crush his spinal cord If you think about the "stools" that many drummers use, and the positions their bodies are in while drumming, I suppose I could see how the lower back could be affected.
When you're in your 20's and early 30's, the body can compensate; when you're in your 40's and beyond, you really need to take care of your back. Slumped in a stool night after night doesn't seem that healthy to me.

It’s just you. This is a British writer; that’s the way they write. “Kit” in this sense means “equipment” or “tools,” in Brit usage.
