Goalies and drummers both need quick hands. Safe to say Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask qualifies.

On Thursday the team honored Rask for his 500th career game and becoming the Bruins all-time career leader in wins earlier this season, showering him with gifts, including one pretty unique one.
Rask, a huge fan of the band Metallica, was gifted a replica drum set of the kit drummer Lars Ulrich uses on tour.

Ulrich also took time out to record a congratulatory message for Rask, shown at the end of the video of full of Rask's former teammates and members of the organization.
In addition to the drum set, his teammates presented him with a custom engraved bottle of wine and a watch.
Bruins president Cam Neely brought out a silver stick for Rask while NHL Senior Director of Operations Kay Whitmore gave Rask a commemorative crystal.
