Can we take a moment to give a shoutout to Robin Diaz? He's been fantastic filling in on drums and has done a superb job replicating Gracey's style. Hope to see Gracey back in full swing soon, but given the situation I couldn't imagine a drummer doing a better job than Robin has. Well done!

Last tour people were asking why two drummers. He adds to the sound, but more importantly Robin is an insurance policy on the drums. If Chad aggravates his injury they can finish the show and their tour.

It's common enough to have touring musicians, drummers included. I know Fleetwood Mac has a second drummer for shows, and I think the Stones do too. Those guys never sit off the stage unless it's a a song without drums or percussion. Those are older artists, but CG is injured.

All that said, idgaf if they have fourteen drummers and a harpist. I'm gonna go see them again either way.
