Career
Two critically acclaimed projects that Whitten was the drummer for were Paul McCartney"s Flowers In The Dirt album in 1989, and Dire Straits final world tour from 1991-1992 to accompany their last studio album, On Every Street. He also played drums on some tracks of the album Titanic (1982) by the Italian songwriter Francesco De Gregori. Whitten unusually has used a Noble & Cooley drum kit which are radically designed drums.
The toms and snare are single-ply, steam-bent shells which give them (especially the snare) a distinctive sound.
