In '96, Grant's success in 'Australia's Best Up and Coming Drummer Competition' in Melbourne, led to worldwide sponsorships with major cymbal and drum companies, and also to clinics and workshops along the entire east coast of Australia.

[edit] Drum and cymbal setup
The kit used by Grant is Australia's biggest drum kit setup.[citation needed] He currently endorses Pearl drums and Zildjian cymbals,[citation needed] and uses a Pearl Masters MMX kit when performing live. He has also designed his own signature sticks made by Vic Firth.[citation needed]
