Jarrod Alexander (My Chemical Romance) & Others Become Gretsch Drums Endorsers

Jarrod Alexander

Gretsch Drums is delighted to announce that Jarrod Alexander, My Chemical Romance, Brad Webb, Jamie Cullum and Stephen Bidwell, Black Pumas have all become endorsers.

Jarrod Alexander returned to the drums for My Chemical Romance’s long awaited reunion concert at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angles on the 20th December 2019. His unique style of playing the drums is born of his eclectic musical tastes and the influences of a wide range of drummers. Jarrod plays with an instinctive mix of power and technical elegance to produce a sound that is richly complex and super loud!

Best known as Jamie Cullum’s drummer, Brad Webb has also played with Amy Winehouse, Paolo Nutini, Tim Minchin and his own projects. He is a versatile drummer with a unique touch and dynamics when playing his Broadkaster kit which he describes as ‘….the perfect mix of modern and classic drum sounds……’ .

Their self-titled debut album, released in 2019 and their electrifying live shows earned the band a 2020 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.

‘We are delighted to welcome Jarrod, Brad and Stephen to the Gretsch Drums Family,’ said Andrew Shreve, Gretsch Brand and Artist Relations Manager, ‘each play their kits producing that great Gretsch sound in completely different ways. It is a privilege to create drums that stirs such enthusiasm.’
