Here’s the last few moments of our show last night at @trumanstate 🤘🥁🕺

We get questions from time to time about the modified drumset we use for @jlin_p’s “Perspective” — so here’s a closer look. 

Thx @officialmidas and @trentjeray for joining us onstage again for Metamorphosis 🙏 These guys are incredible. This show goes to Harrisburg, Lyon, and Paris later this season.
