What kind of stool does Tim use at the CP70?
Possibly not directly related to gear, but what kind of chair does Tim sit on it when he playing live?   - Mario
I may not be correct about this, but I think that both he and Tom use Yamaha DS840 drum thrones.

Which piano provides the distorted sounds during A Bad Dream live?
Which piano is used to play the distorted solo sound during live performances of A Bad Dream - Tim's, Tom's or both?  - Jazmin

The distorted piano solo sound is played by Tim on the CP70 - he switches effects using the FBV Shortboard on the floor at the left-side of the piano. Tom plays the chords of the song on the other piano will Tim does the solo parts.

Why has Richard switched to using Zildjian cymbals?
I've noticed that Richard has switched some (all?) of his cymbals from Sabian to Zildjian. Do you have any insight as to why he made the move?  - Steve

I asked Scott (Richard's drum tech) about this at the turn of the year - he said that Richard had been using a lot of Zildjian cymbals in the studio during the recording of the album and they liked them a lot, so it was just a natural progression to using them on the live kit in place of the Sabian HHX's he previously used.

According to the Zildjian website, Richard now uses the following Zildjian gear:

  • A CUSTOM PROJECTION CRASH
  • A CUSTOM PROJECTION HIHATS
  • K BRILLIANT CRASH RIDE
  • K DARK CRASH THIN
They also have a drum configurator showing you where they are on the kit - though to be honest there's more to Richard's kit than they show in that basic layout!
