I saw pics/video on his IG page from the event--one specifically stands out where he tours the stage with all of the drum kits during rehearsal--and points to his own (as well as Mick's and a few others). I am not in a place where can check now--will do so when I get home.

A serious whirlwind weekend, as you see from the bags under my eyes, but I made it and survived! Friday morning rehearsals (NYC); Friday night MusicCares show at Radio City Music Hall performing with Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Keith Urban, Alison Krauss, Juanes, Little Big Town and Brandi Carlisle; Saturday morning flight to San Diego/rehearsal; Saturday night "Roots of Rhythm" jazz series concert at San Diego Symphony Hall; Sunday morning drive to Anaheim for NAMM Show and all-day/evening endorsement meetings. About 8 hours of sleep total over 2-1/2 days, hence the daze. 😩💪 ☆ 🥁 ☆ www.TAKUpercussion.com #TakuHirano #percussionist @meinlpercussion #percussion #drummer #TryAndKeepUp #taku

I first met Keith Urban back in the day when I was drumming on Lindsey Buckingham's 2006 "Under The Skin" solo tour. He and Nicole Kidman came backstage at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, as he's a fan of Lindsey. So great to perform with him last night! (He performed "Second Hand News") ���� • • • • • @keithurban #KeithUrban #FleetwoodMac #SecondHandNews @musicares #MusiCares www.TAKUpercussion.com #TakuHirano #percussionist #TryAndKeepUp #taku

thanks again for bringing this up - a treasure trove of pics from Musicares plus others on his IG, really enjoyed looking through!

Yes apologies--I meant the House band, not FM

he is.

So Jimmy Paxson is confirmed? He was absolutely killer on the Buck/ Mcvie tour.

Is Jimmy confirmed? Apart from Lindsey's tweet stating, "most" of the guys from the buck/vie tour. He finishes with Ben Harper mid-September, and rehearsals have started unless he will join halfway through?

I hope he adds a woman’s voice to his touring band. Someone that can add some rich harmonies.

I could be snarky about the way Linds uses drums and drummers in his live shows and how much rehearsal is necessary for 'playing' along to recorded tracks, but.... (and that's NOT a dig at Jimmy, but rather at LB)
