Favourite Fishsticks: 5B Hammer Blast & 5AXN Hyper Blast with Soft Stick Grips.
Both felt like I can reach beyond my speed limits and with adding on the Soft Stick Grips, it feels just perfect.
Bio: I started with drums at the age of 13 playing with a lot of local bands including rock and punk-rock.Those bands pushed me to play faster so I ended up playing for a Black Metal band named Golgota which was my 1st metal band . Originally I wanted to be a Guitar player for a local band in my home town but since we didn't have a drummer I started playing drums with them. Currently I am playing in Tenth of December (ex Hear Them Suffer) which is a modern Metal band . Along with being a drummer I am also a music engineer mostly based on Modern Metal production.

Bands you would love to tour with or already have: Sounds impossible but I would love to tour with Foo Fighters I think they have the best performance and they seem like they are good people.
Most memorable moments: Making of Tenth of December's "In Your Eyes" video, it was a funny day. Me 50km from home forgetting my snare stand and drum throne so I ended up borrowing those from some local village drummer which my good friend recommended.
