YAMAHA DRUMS

Used during Magic tour. The exact set-up changed a bit sometimes depending on what Rog wanted. Possibly not used in the studio at all. Queen's connexion with Yamaha at the time of 'A Kind of Magic' was evident in the use of DX-7 synthesisers (One Vision, Pain is So Close to Pleasure, Who Wants to Live Forever, One Year of Love, A Kind of Magic...) and it's even been suggested that Freddie played a Yamaha grand piano, rather than (or together with) the usual Bösendorfer/Steinway combo.
