Coming all the way from Seattle, WA, rock four-piece Vespera are back at it again, this time with a killer drum playthrough from drummer Jonathan Schwartz, only right here, on Gear Gods!
Jamming along to their 2018 single “Vanilla Sky”, this playthrough has everything from punchy production to hard-hitting, groove-focused playing from Schwartz. Visually, these dudes have everything on lockdown with the production of this playthrough (and their many music videos), which is always a huge win in our book, and Schwartz’s tight playing makes it have that much more of an impact.
