#knockoutbeaters

Haven’t really posted personal stuff in a while. The neck surgery I had in March of last year failed. The screws at C6/C7 didn’t fuse to the bone and are loose. This is causing the hardware to move and is becoming more and more painful every day. I’ll be going in on the 30th to have the surgery redone. Looking at a 6-8 week recovery. #istanbulmehmetcymbals #ludwigvistalite #evansdrumheads #dw9000 #knockoutbeaters #tamafirstchair #splstreetbop #techradrumsticks #promarksticks #aheaddrumsticks #daddario #puresoundwires #meinldrumrug #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpaindrummer #worshipdrummer #inkeddrummer #pierceddrummer #beardeddrummer #iamtheghostdrummer https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckmab6WvEv8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had another round of six injections in my low back today. The plan is to locate the pain so the doctors can perform a few nerve ablations. Thought I’d share some pics of times I was in considerably less pain. First pic doesn’t fall under the “less pain” category…it’s the hardware that was installed in 1993 at L1 & L2 due to a L2 compression fracture. The scar is 12” long. L2 was fused together and fused to L1. The hardware was removed in 1995 due to it almost tearing through my skin. The rest are past and current gear. It’s been hard to see all the gear I have sitting while the doctors are working on reducing the chronic pain; but I remain positive because the doctors are helping me. It will always be a struggle fighting the chronic pain in my neck, hands, back, hips, and left ankle, but my passion for music will never go away. #chronicpain #pearlmastercustom #pearlexport #pearlvision #knockoutbeaters #roland #ludwigvistalite #splstreetbop #dw9000 #tamafirstchair #evansdrumheads #istanbulmehmetcymbals #techradrumsticks #promarksticks #aheaddrumsticks #cherryhilldrums #woshipdrummer #beardeddrummer #inkeddrummer #pierceddrummer #iamtheghostdrummer https://www.instagram.com/p/CYVVHnqL4he/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today was a good day. The injection on Wednesday in my SI joint seems to be helping. This is huge because I’ve had a lot of injections in my low back, and none of them ever helped. Today was a simple day, I brought my #mapexblackpanthersledgehammer brass snare and my #dw9000 doubles with #knockoutbeaters and #techradrumsticks My new A4t in-ears are back at #64audio for repair so I’m glad I kept my older V3’s in my bag. #crushdrums #evansdrumheads #zildjiancymbals #promarkdrumsticks #gibraltarhardware #worshipdrummer #beardeddrummer #inkeddrummer #pierceddrummer #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpaindrummer #iamtheghostdrummer https://www.instagram.com/p/CQpBRQxMUbd/?utm_medium=tumblr
