Jacob Collier Makes Waves with Yamaha

Jacob often takes to the stage on his own, jumping between instruments mid-song to create a unique and engaging live-show. However, for his 2019 world tour, he performs alongside a full band of hand-picked musicians using entirely Yamaha instruments. Collier’s bold and clear musical vision is realised using a lineup of Yamaha gear including Piano, Synths, Guitars, Drums, Wind and even a Silent Bass. Expanding on his previous tours and recordings, the tour promises to be another triumph in Collier’s career to take him to even loftier heights.

Step inside the mind of Jacob’s prodigious talent and explore the range of instruments that will be used by him and the band on the Djesse tour.

Hailing from North London, Jacob Collier is a Grammy award winning singer, arranger, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. At just 24 years old, he has already earned himself a glowing reputation and adoration from his dedicated fanbase through his 2016 debut album “In My Room” and the 200-date global tour that followed. Since then, Jacob has spent the past year writing, recording and producing a quartet of albums titled Djesse. Released on 7th December, the first instalment of this 40 song project fuses elements of jazz, soul, electronic, gospel, acapella and funk into an extraordinary body of work that is both challenging and fun

“There are so few companies that would be well equipped and far-reaching enough to provide enough gear for us to take on the road for this kind of show. The variety of instruments on stage is enormous - over 20 instruments, all made by Yamaha! I trust them completely and am thrilled to be playing these instruments on this tour.”

Absolute Hybrid Maple

The answer to the question is drums that give you the sound you need, whenever you need it.Tonal requirements vary among drummers, differ with dynamics, and change, from band to band, song to song, moment to moment. With the Absolute Hybrid Series drums, Yamaha has succeeded in addressing this, with a drum set that possesses an extraordinary degree of expressive power, allowing drummers to pursue a level of expression that perhaps they've not experience before in their other drums. These drums offer a wide dynamic range that allows them to respond accurately to each and every stroke, and follow changes in dynamics, nuance, and touch, letting you play what you want to play.
