What Is Garth Brooks’ Drum Pod?
Brooks’ late-’90s tour featured the Drum Pod, a plexiglass and aluminum structure that enclosed his drummer during the shows.
The Drum Pod has returned as a centerpiece of the new tour. Fans’ first indication that the concerts were coming was via a video that Brooks posted early on July 7 after wiping his Instagram page clean.
The video shows Brooks-filmed footage of the pod as he says, “How long has it been, old girl? 30 years?”
Interspersed with that are throwback clips of the pod onstage in action, with the singer standing on top of it during a drum solo.
“You know what? Maybe it’s time we put you back to work,” he adds.
Garth Brooks’ 2026 Blame It All On My Roots Will Be Recorded For a Live Album
Brooks’ late-’90s World Tour resulted in his best-known live album, Double Live, and that’s another tradition he’s carrying on in 2026.
Brooks is recording his 2026 tour for Killer Live, “a groundbreaking new approach to live recording that continues Brooks’s tradition of capturing history in real time.”
