ARTIST PROFILE
Julian gage
swindon, uk
band: heriot
STICK SIZE: 5a
I grew up listening to a lot of rock music because of my parents, but it wasn’t until I heard some of the bands on the heavier end of the spectrum that I really started to take an interest in music, drums especially.
I started officially playing drums aged 9 after taking up lessons at school, but quickly felt unfulfilled. I was getting into heavier music and I couldn’t find a local teacher that fulfilled my needs, so I continued learning at home by ear.
Today I’m influenced by many drummers across
2021 is set to be a big year for the band I’m looking forward to working with Collision as the band grows.
WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
I use Collision’s standard 5A sticks. As a hard hitter, durability is absolutely paramount to me and Collision’s sticks hold up better than any of the big name brands on the market. I’ve built a fantastic relationship with the Collision team over the last few months and I’m looking forward to what the future holds.
