Under the Stage with Wicked’s Chris Jago

Pearl Artist, Chris Jago, recently finished up a residency at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood, California where he performed 96 shows over a 3-month long tenure with the Los Angeles production of Wicked. 

Jago’s drumming was widely present throughout each of the 96 shows played during Wicked’s Los Angeles residency. And, although holed up in a separate drum booth located under the stage, Chris was able to rig up a GoPro camera and piece together a small brief video, which can be viewed online.

Jago relied on his 6-piece Reference Series drum set for this run at the Pantages, which served as a local gig for the Los Angeles resident. Finished in the Purple Craze II lacquer, Chris’ kit is complete with a custom 24×14 bass drum, 12×8 rack tom, 13×8 rack tom, 16” and 18” floor toms, and topped off with a 14×6.5 Reference Series snare. More information on Chris Jago, including full kit specs on his Reference Series setup, can be found on Pearl’s website.
