ARTIST PROFILE
Nikita “sloth” Edlefsen
Utah, USA
band: The Runoffs
STICK SIZE: 5Br
My name is Nikita Edlefsen and I have been playing drums for just a little over 8 years now and I’m currently playing with a band called The Runoffs! It’s a three piece group with Vocals/guitar, bass guitar, and of course drums. We have played all throughout Utah and Idaho and was able to share the stage at Kilby Court in SLC with some amazing bands!
When I first started playing I super looked up to Joshua Dun of Twenty One pilots and I still do! He definitely shaped my drumming technique and what I played. Over the years I have fallen in love with playing Punk, Metal and on my own I like to do some funk/jazz to build my knowledge on what to play!
I have so much passion towards playing in front of crowds and friends it just gives me so much motivation to improve more and more! I am currently endorsing Soultone Cymbals and I’m so excited to add another amazing brand to that list! I wanna give out a massive thank you to Collusion for giving me this opportunity!
WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
My name is Nikita Edlefsen and currently I am using the 5BR. These sticks are everything I could ask for! Such amazing durability and I can get some amazing tones out of my kit with them! I would highly recommend playing with them just for how durable and well balanced they are! As a super heavy hitter while on the kit I just have that much more reliability in what I can do.
