Damon Krukowski's first drum kit in Galaxie 500 was a loaner from Conan O'Brien. They were both freshmen at Harvard, but when Damon and Dean Wareham formed the band, Damon didn't have a drum kit on campus. For some reason, Conan did and loaned it to the band. By the time Conan got it back months later when Damon got his own kit, Conan had lost whatever interest he had in drumming.
