Drums, discipline, and black-metal intent.

This page keeps the musical side of the site in one place: the setup, the records feeding my ears, and the darker ambition still pushing toward a future release built from precision, atmosphere, and force.

Tama shells, Paiste RUDE, and a black-metal-focused setup.

The current kit is built for force, speed, and clarity: enough attack to cut through dense music, enough control to stay articulate when everything gets fast.
