COSTUMES
While not strictly costumes as such, Elton Out Of The Closet® has a number of very important custom-made instruments, which contribute massively to the show's WOW factor...

This is a masterpiece, created by Mat Duniam of Red Rocks Drums, Australia: www.facebook.com/redrockdrums

And with great pride, our replica was featured as 'Kit Of The Month' in Modern Drummer magazine internationally!
