==Career==

After the early years of the band, Nevalainen got a new professional drum kit. He used that kit from the album ''[[Wishmaster (album)|Wishmaster]]'' to the end of the ''[[Once (Nightwish album)|Once]]'' world tour in 2005. He was endorsed by [[Tama Drums|Tama drums]], [[Paiste]] cymbals and [[Pro-Mark]] sticks. He was in a side-project, Sethian, which is now completely dormant because of band members being busy with other bands.{{Citation needed|reason=entire paragraph needs verifiable sources|date=May 2018}}
