I’ll never forget scooping Adam’s drumstick…still one of my prized possessions. Fire break science set in Denver. Hopped the rail after he threw it and it fell in front of me with no one noticing, my girlfriend told me to send it. and when I hopped back over my pants got stuck with security coming in hot and I ripped em from my gooch to my knee. 1000% worth the rip and everyone was so stoked. Ran into the homie that caught the other one that made it out. We sword battled them. Such a rad night. Adam is a legend for forever. Boom bap for life baby. Goat.

Adam is the reason I started playing drums and then became the reason I wanted to learn how to produce beats. I think over anyone else apart from my family and friends, Adam has without doubt been the biggest source of inspiration in my life. I just love what he does. What an incredible musician man, honestly… 🤯

[@gowithelmo]

Love that. Adam is the man 💯
