Playthrough Monday, an unofficial holiday I’ve just now created because not much other gear news happens on President’s Day, is topped off by this awe-inspiring video that I just stumbled upon. Structures songs usually aren’t the easiest to play anyway, but Aussie youngster Kiri Schroeter pounds through the drum parts to “Hydroplaning” without hands or feet. He was born without them, but fuck if this kid was going to let that stop him.
Take a look at the video below, and if you’re so inclined you may also want to give a listen to his band Briarcliff, or maybe head to Kiri’s YouTube channel where he also covers a Black Dahlia Murder tune.

How are the sticks held on so he has good rebound and conrol without them coming loose or flopping around? Amazing talent.

He holds them in place with the cuttings of a Wetsuit material covered by sweatbands for comfort, I know this because he is my drummer haha

Total respect for him. This also proves that this kind of drumming is not for people who have hands and feet.
