an arm
Rick Allen, the drummer for Def Leppard, is left-handed. He plays the drums in a unique setup that accommodates his left-handedness, especially after he lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984. His distinctive playing style and adaptations have made him a notable figure in rock music.
His arm. It was cut off at the shoulder by his seatbelt. Doctors tried to reattach it but it became infected and had to be removed again. However, the band never considered replacing him and instead commissioned a custom drumkit that would compensate for the lack of an arm.
well yes, Def Leppard. Their drummer Rick Allen was in drunken driving car accident around Christmas in 1984 right after recording "Pyromania" and his left arm was severed by his seat belt. The doctors tried to reattach it but it became gangrenous and they had to toss it. He helped design an electronic drum kit that let him drum again but he did eventually set aside alot of the triggers and start drumming on real skins. In the late 60's The Barbarians had a one armed drummer, and a song about said drummer, "Moulty".
Richard "Rick" Allen, drummer of hard rock band Def Leppard, lost his left arm in a street-racing accident on the 31st of December, 1984 while driving his Chevrolet Corvette to Sheffield, England.

In a car accident. The seatbelt lopped his arm off at the shoulder, and the doctors tried to reattach it but it got infected and had to be taken off again. The band, to their huge credit, never even thought about replacing him This last part is not entirely accurate. During the Hysteria tour, the band had a back-up drummer play with Rick Allen even though he had spent time learning to play without the use of his left arm. According to the band, one show when the back-up had arrived late due to a delayed flight, he essentially said to Rick "Looks like you don't really need me anymore."
