Foolin' around a couple days ago, working on a little something for the #bestbeat contest...#drummonth has been awesome with everything goin on @longandmcquade with contests and other sweet things...this groove wasn't planned, but definitely thought it was uniquely different with the complimentary double shots shared between the bass, snare and rack tom. Thanks to the boys @dramos97 @ethindian14 @anthonyromando @brodienormand and Matt Stevenson for their help in doing the craziest things to show case my drums for the contests!

My 12 year old Brother is entering a drumming contest and the more likes he gets, the farther he will advance into adjudication, and could win a sick prize! So please like it up, he's self taught and has been playing since he was 4! #DrumMonth #BestBeat @longandmcquade #proud
