“I have been playing drums for almost fifteen years and during that time I’ve broken many sticks, skins, knuckles, cymbals and even a couple of drums.Over the past couple of years I have been playing in a Hamilton based metal band called World War Four and the attrition rate of my gear has doubled.I began collecting my destroyed skins and cymbals and painting on them.
After a particularly rocking show, someone said I was probably the hardest hitter they had seen. I shook my head as it is a known fact that Terry from M.S.U is the hardest hitter in Hamilton.
Terry doesn’t paint. I do.”
