Bryar is putting his C&C drum set up for auction in support of an animal shelter. The instruments were used in the music video for MCR’s “Helena,” and were also used to record parts of the band’s legendary 2006 album, The Black Parade.

The drummer says that the sale of this drum set will mark the end of his drumming career, as they will be listed and sold on eBay. The funds from the drum kit will be used to directly benefit the Williamson County Animal Center in Franklin, Tennessee.

Bryar announced the auction on Twitter writing, “Hi friends. It's been a while. I hope everyone is doing OK. I’m permanently closing the book on my drumming days. I have too many wrist issues, I’m too old, too fat, and it’s time for something new. I just put my very last drum kit, the ‘Helena’ kit, on eBay. Just like the other kits, the money will go to the Williamson County Animal Control and Adoption Center."

"All of the details and pictures are in the eBay post. If I can figure out the password I will post more pictures on Instagram @bcbryar. I miss you all a lot!”
