Last week I had the privilege of attending the @zildjiancompany @vicfirth #artistappreciation event at @bakedpotatojazzclub celebrating the 400 yr anniversary of #zildjiancymbals! What an amazing night of celebration, hangin w/ great peeps, & of course watching some fantastic #livemusic by some of the #bestinthebiz. In these pics… my incredible #zildjian & #vicfirth A&R reps @joetesta37 & @cymbalgirrl, the one & only #CraigieZildjian - President/Exec Chair, @cadyzldjn - Vice Chair/Board of Directors & one very cool person, & finally a little teaser video from the night. So many great #drummers sat in w/ this awesome house band. It was truly a night to remember & I am so proud to play the best #drumsticks & #cymbals in the world! #zildjianfamily ~ @alexsillmusic @antijacobclub @tim_hockenberry @gary_novak @scottkinsey1 #bakedpotato #drums #drummer #drummerlife #drummerworld #music #musician #musicislife #musicians #musicindustry #vicfirthsticks #vicfirthdrumsticks #vicfirthfamily #zildjiancymbals #justinsandler #vicfirthartist #zildjianartist #ilovedrums https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyejXJvO8o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our #film “Welcome to Where You’ve Always Been” @wtwyab just made a resurgence as one of the #winners at the @santabarbarafestival #shortfilmfestival. It was an honor to appear in our 22nd #filmfestival & win our 5th award. And at the perfect time as we prepare to create 2 documentary films next. @marylousandler & I want to congratulate all of the amazing #awardwinning #filmmakers that we’re part of this event & offer gratitude to the #santabarbarashortsfestival for the opportunity. If you haven’t seen the film yet, it is currently available to rent on Amazon. Thx for your support! 🎥❤️ @3cubedstudios ~ #shortfilm #inspirationalfilm #awardwinningfilm #justinsandler #marylousandler #3cubedstudios #wtwyab #movie #festival #santabarbara #inspirationalmovie #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmmakerslife #director #actor #producer #cinematographer (at Metro 4 Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpoImqOv6Pi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#motivationmonday Being the best is about being true to who you are. Be the best YOU! Be the ONLY you. There is no competition when it comes to art & creating. So focus on being authentic & unique in your own way. Celebrate your originality & be the only one who does what you specifically do. You will not please everyone, but you WILL find success… just as Jerry did. #mondaymotivation #motivationalquotes #jerrygarcia ~ #motivation #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #inspirational #motivational #jerrygarciaquotes #gratefuldead #positivevibes #positivequotes #unique #individuality #authentic #authenticity #bethebestyou #liveyourbestlife #music #quotes #quotesdaily #quotestagram #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #love https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpdm5U6yGoy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#tbt 2009. @marylousandler found all of the photos from the 1st shoot that she did of me. We had only met less than a month before this. Here are a few of the images from the batch. She was still Mary L Carter back then (#misstressmaryphoto) & she was already amazing. Now she is an even more incredible #photographer & #cinematographer & has her own company @3cubedstudios. This was a fun one. Life was certainly different back then. #throwbackthursday ~ #photography #photoshoot #model #modeling #malemodel #glam #guyliner #smokyeyes #rocknroll #edgy #edgymodel #glamrock #justinsandler #3cubedstudios #marylousandler #throwback #flashback #guyswithlonghair #guyswithtattoos #punk #goth #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #fineartphotography #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CnVjhyLJB4o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When life gives you #lemons - you take photos of them #aftertherain. And then you pick one and squeeze it into your water for a yummy, cleansing tonic. #toyourhealth #ilovenature #meyerlemon ~ #nature #naturephotography #lemon #lemons #lemontree #meyerlemontree #meyerlemons #lemonphotography #citrus #rain #raindrops #raindrop #naturephoto #naturephotos #naturelover #naturelovers #losangeles #california #southerncalifornia #citrusseason #rainyday #rainseason #lemonwater #whenlifegivesyoulemons https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7QyjpymtF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Special screening of the re-release of #anvilthestoryofanvil #documentary followed by live performance from @anvil.metal. Incredible time. I first met #Anvil in 2009. I was playing drums for Beautiful Creatures at the #rocklahoma festival. We shared a connecting flight from Dallas & a shuttle to the hotel w/ them. Got to know them a bit back then. Great dudes. So happy to reconnect last night, especially w/ my #drummer brother #robbreiner. The #film is coming out again soon. You must see it. It’s a beautiful & hopeful story, very funny, & well done. Here’s a few frames from last night. Went w/ my good mate @jamesgoldingmusic. #metalonmetal 🤘🏻 @lipsanvil @steveo #metal #rockumentary #musicdocumentary #musicfilm #sabantheatre #beverlyhills #music #musician #musicians #concertphoto #musicislife #inspiration #musiclover #rockconcert #rockshow #filmscreening #heavymetalband #heavymetalpioneers #heavymetal #anvilband #rocknroll https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci4I1u_OfEp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Even tho I’m on a #roadtrip w/ @marylousandler I still gotta get my lift on! #goldsgym travel pass comes in handy again! The @goldsgymkennewick is a really nice gym and a favorite stop every time we visit Mary Lou’s grandpa @davecarter8782. We had a lovely visit before heading back down into Oregon yesterday. Tonight we will camp at Mt Shasta. #roadtrip2022 #stayingfit ~ #roadtrip #roadtrippin #roadtripusa #winnebago #solispocket #kennewick #washington #goldsgym #gym #vegan #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #veganbodybuilding #cancersurvivor #cancerwarrior #bodybuilding #germcellcancer #survivor #roadtripworkout #flex #muscle #guyswithtattoos #gymlife #veganlife #veganfitness #embracelovefree (at Gold's Gym Kennewick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgyArv9rebp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nelumbo nucifera, also known as #Indianlotus #sacredlotus or simply #lotus, is 1 of 2 extant species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae. The #lotusflower also represents the path to spiritual #awakening and #enlightenment. I also find it fascinating that these flowers open up in the morning & then close back up at night. So cool. #ilovenature ~ #lillypads #pond #flower #beautifulflowers #rebirth #transformational #lotusflowers #flower #flowers #flowerphotography #flowerphoto #buddhism #buddhist #lotussutra #flowerlife #flowerlove #flowerlover #flowerlovers #nature #naturelovers #naturephotography #flowersofinstagram #flowerpower #floweroftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CexRGkRLi0s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

That’s a wrap on @thenammshow 2022. This year’s #nammshow had 46,000 attendees and 1,000 exhibitors… about 1/2 of the 2020 attendance & 1/4 the exhibitors. Yet it was still packed and still an incredible experience. I jammed on instruments, saw awesome live performances, attended inspirational talks, & ran into lots of great friends. I also got in some writing sessions during my down-time at the hotel. Overall I had a blast & I’m glad I attended. Next year they will be doing the show in April w/ the goal of getting back to January by 2024.
