Greetings from Stockholm...
I see some of you are wondering about the Yamaha drums I'm playing on the Josh Groban tour. I want to let you know that I'm not a Yamaha endorser. In the interest of making my entrance as smooth as possible, I wanted to play a kit that would be the same sizes that previous drummer, Gary Novak, was using. The production team for the tour felt the same. As none of my own kits met these specs, I tried to procure a Pearl kit in these sizes, but there just wasn't time for this as I joined the tour within three days of receiving the invitation to do so. If I have my facts straight, I'm playing Josh's kit. He is a Yamaha piano endorser - and also a drummer - and Yamaha provided the kit you see in the pics I've posted.
This, as you might imagine, was an awkward situation, but, fortunately, Pearl was cool with all of it...
