 By 1970 Moon had begun to use timbales , gongs and timpani , and these were included in his setup for the rest of his career . In 1973 Premier 's marketing manager , Eddie Haynes , began consulting with Moon about specific requirements . At one point , Moon asked Premier to make a white kit with gold @-@ plated fittings . When Haynes said that it would be prohibitively expensive , Moon replied : " Dear boy , do exactly as you feel it should be , but that 's the way I want it .
