TITANS OF THE THRONE is a new and unique drum festival designed to not only educate, but inspire! Four of today's most iconic and prominent players in metal together to help save the art of drumming. Putting together such an event wasn't easy, but neither is mastering the instrument...both of which I am passionate about!
