The Ghost Inside Drummer Returns Behind Drumkit

The Ghost Inside‘s Andrew Tkaczyk has played drums for the first time since he and his band were caught up in a horrible bus crash last November.

In a post to his personal Instagram account, Tkaczyk outlines his return behind the drums and how much it means to him. Read what he had to say below.

Today was a huge baby step. I sat behind a drum kit for the first time since the accident, and it felt incredible. EVERY encouraging word and support from you all has gotten me to this point. I may not reply to every single person, but I’ve read EVERY single message/comment etc. from every single one of you. Thank you all so much for being on my side on this journey, it means more than words can describe. Also couldn’t have done this without my TGI family and friends. Also my amazing sponsors at @sjcdrums @zildjiancompany And @vicfirth You’re the fuel to my fire, now watch me burn.
