The Ghost Inside’s Andrew Tkaczyk: Better At Drums Than You Despite Losing A Leg

As we're sure you know by now, The Ghost Inside drummer Andrew Tkaczyk lost the lower part of one of his legs in the band’s horrific November 2015 bus crash, which left most of the guys with numerous life-changing injuries between them. Andrew is the tenacious type, however, and has fought to get back behind the kit as soon as possible.

Back in May he showed off The Hammer, a device made by his father that allowed him to use the kick pedals of his kit, and yesterday he shared a video on his Instagram that shows what progress he's made. Check it out:

Today is honestly the first time since our accident almost 3 years ago that I feel close to the level I was playing at when I had two legs. No, it’ll never be 100% like that again but with the help of my Dad and some incredible people, I’ve gotten pretty damn close. The @axispercussion long boards were the third and final piece of the puzzle to making playing drums feel natural again. 1st piece was The Hammer my Dad built. 2nd piece was my trigger setup, and now these pedals. Extremely thankful to Joe Hardy for hooking me up and helping me get back to it. Feeling great about this!

An inspiring guy.
