In this latest update from The Ghost Inside, drummer Andrew Tkaczyk detailed how he plans to play the drums more effectively without his prosthetic leg. The plan is both interesting and promising! You can read his exact quote below.
In other recent news, The Ghost Inside have recently had their first series of band practices following the tragic bus crash. It’s great to see their continued recovery and swells of inspiration / innovation.
This is something I’ve been excited to share for a very long time. My Dad is quite the handy-man, and came up with this great idea. Playing drums with a prosthetic leg just wasn’t working out. The timing was way too off. There was a latency. It was awkward and clunky. My Dad had a vision of designing me a device where I didn’t need to attach my prosthesis at all. This way there is no weight my limb has to lift which eliminates fatigue, and gives me a FAR better action when striking the pedal. With that said, I still have a long way to go before I get it 100% down, but it’s absolutely the right direction to go in terms of playing as close to my full potential as possible! My Mom coined the name for this device so we’ve been calling it “The Hammer” 🔨 Going to stream live here on Instagram within the next hour so come hang out!
