VIC FIRTH SIGNATURE ARTIST
ANDY HURLEY

Andy was inspired to pick up the drumsticks at an early age after hearing Metallica's Lars Ulrich for the first time. Over the years, Andy has played with many bands including Project Rocket, Arma Angelus, the Kill Pill, and Racetraitor.

Andy is best known as the drummer for the pop-punk group, Fall Out Boy. He joined the band in 2003 and since that time, they have exploded into the mainstream consciousness with their latest album, Infinity on High. He has a unique style of playing pop—one that has a metal approach to it.

Andy's Signature Stick:
Andy Hurley (SHUR)
Designed by the drummer of Fall Out Boy, this stick combines a medium sized oval tip with a large shaft for a full sound on drums and clarity on cymbals.
L = 16 1/2”, Dia = .630”


“With my drumming, I have preferred a large stick,” states Andy. “But ultimately, I was interested in developing a stick with a shorter taper for added weight and striking power. And with the oval shaped tip, I feel that my stick creates a unique sound and feel. I am able to create a stronger stroke, greater rebound and a very focused sound.” - Andy Hurley

 


SUGGESTED LISTENING:

Infinity on High (2007)

"...the pleasant surprise here is the band's new sense of swing: Several songs, including the hit ''This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race,'' dip winningly into R&B, a move aided by co-producer Babyface. Lo and behold, it turns out these pasty emo boys are a pretty great blue-eyed soul band. Infinity ain't exactly Thriller — but Maroon 5 better watch their backs."
