Europe's Ryder Cup Team have been banging the drums for the continent at Valhalla Golf Club - with the help of one the most famous sticksmen in the world.

Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain helped Nick Faldo's 12 man squad relax before the pressure of their Ryder Cup defence began, giving the players drumming lessons in the players room.

McBrain and DJ Spoony have been providing the entertainment for the Team and if this picture is anything to go by it seems to be something of a hit with the players.
