WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?

I play 5B’s. I like the durability of the Collision sticks and how personal the experience of working with the brand is. I recommend all drummers check out these sticks cause they last long and are affordable. Plus it’s great to know when your support makes a difference, which is the case when it comes to Collision who are underdogs in the game when it comes to sticks.

PRESS

“Brooklyn trio Spotlights has steadily developed their “atmospheric bludgeoning” from the 2009 single they spontaneously recorded. Married couple Sarah and Mario Quintero mix thick riffage with lofty synths and shoegazey ambience, while Chris Enriquez’s dynamic drumming empowers and directs the immersive walls of sound. This third album looks to enhance the band’s most compelling aspects. Love & Decay sports Spotlights’ most catchy, emotive and heavy material to date.”
