Pearl Drums has issued the following update:
Chad Smith's CHICKENFOOT tour kit is finished! Follow our production updates to see how it was made.
By now you've heard about Chad Smith's new band Chickenfoot... but what about his kit? For such a unique blend of musicians, you need a unique kit to take on tour so Chad enlisted to help of Orange County Choppers painter Nub. You may have already seen his work on kits for Mike Wengren of DISTURBED and the massive 'Phoenix Blue' Masterworks NAMM show kit. His company Nub Grafix is a paint, airbrush, gold leaf, and pinstriping company specializing in custom choppers and motorcycles.
Chickenfoot is the new supergroup featuring Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Chad Smith. The band will take the stage for a limited number of European and US live shows, featuring music from their self-titled debut album, Chickenfoot, set for a June 9th release. Although Chad recently used an MCX Masters Series Diamond Glitter kit in rehearsals, he plans to debut his new custom painted Masterworks Series kit very soon.
Nub agreed to take you on his journey of making Chad's Chickenfoot tour kit and we provided daily updates through each stage of the process at this location.
