Chad Gracey of +LIVE+, known as one of the most respected drummers in the world and the heartbeat of the multi-platinum alternative rock band, has signed with Drum Workshop (DW).

The first show Gracey performed with DW drums was March 12 at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. Both +LIVE+ and Bush played at a private event pegged to the recent announcement that both groups will co-headline arenas and amphitheatres this summer celebrating the 25th anniversary of their respective landmark albums (Throwing Copper and Sixteen Stone). Billed as The ALT-IMATE Tour, it kicks off June 6th in Mashantucket, CT with stops in Boston, Los Angeles, Atlanta and more before wrapping September 8th in Rochester, MI.

“We’re incredibly honored to welcome Chad to the DW Family,” says Scott Donnell, Vice President of Global Marketing of Drum Workshop. “He and his band have had an extraordinary career thus far, and we’re thrilled to be part of their continuing musical journey.”

“I am so excited to be joining the DW family,” says Chad Gracey (recently profiled in Modern Drummer). “Their drums sound and look incredible, and I can’t wait to play them on our summer tour as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Throwing Copper.”

I called it after their last show! What do I win? tongue.gif

Interesting side note: He's not listed on DW's artist roster page yet.

Also, here's the link to the 2017 Modern Drummer profile that's referenced in the article. I don't remember seeing this at the time of posting:
