Joe Choroszewski’s drum set setup for the Broadway production of Finding Neverland at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

Read Joe's write-up about the show, below the photos.

Joe Choroszewski’s drum set setup for the Broadway production of Finding Neverland at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

"In February of 2016, I took over the drum chair at Finding Neverland from Rich Mercurio when he moved on to a new show. Rich is one of the best drummers I've ever heard and is always very stylistically appropriate. It was my intent to replicate the prior setup as closely as I could with the gear I had available.

It's a very straightforward drum set book, augmented only by a Roland SPD-SX Sampling Pad, and no traps percussion.

The Roland pad is mostly integrated with the acoustic kit playing sampled sounds such as concert bass drum, metal pots and pans, and power toms with reverb.

And that's about it! This show is a joy to play."

"Setting Up a New Broadway Percussion Book" by Bill Hayes

"When preparing a percussion book for a new Broadway show, we occasionally get the music in advance. That allows us to start our “treasure hunt” early, to have the right sounds ready, and to get a jump on the setup. But often, Broadway is the first appearance of the fully orchestrated show, and we have seen very little before the first rehearsal."

"My Experiences Recording a Broadway Cast Album" by Jared Schonig

"The musical experience of recording a Broadway cast album ranges from easy to difficult depending on the circumstances. I find that the two factors that contribute most to the quality of the experience are: 1) how good the band is; and 2) how soon after you started the show you record the album"
