Can anyone tell me the specific's of Johnny's drums. I know he uses Ayotte (I assume custom) and paste, but are there any details anywhere? What about sticks?
He uses Vic Firth sticks.
Remo heads, coated.
I noticed that on the club tour he's cut his cymbals down, just a crash and a ride.
IMHO, he should switch (Back) to a four peice kit. Two rack toms is just ugly.
Something that quickly caught my eye on the Chicago Rocks television broadcast, was that Mr. Fay was a sporting a Yamaha kit. Whether this was strictly for the CBS broadcast (which I find unlikely), or a complete change in gear preference or sponsorship, I do not know. I guess somebody who has been to a show on this Canadian tour would have to confirm if he is still playing Ayotte, or has in fact moved over to the Yamaha camp.
Wow if he did switch that would end many years of loyalty to Ayotte, I will let you know tonight I am going to the Red Deer show tonight
The comment regarding the sticks is spot on! My wife was lucky enough to have these handed to her by JF.

Johnny is using Yamaha, it wasn't just for the Chicago show, I don't have a pic but I was sober so he has switched.
Yeah I can confirm as well that he's switched to Yamaha. I had 5th row centre last night at Red Deer and I was watching for his kit, and it was definitely Yamaha.
