ARTIST PROFILE
Oscar Plascencia
Fredericksburg/Virginia/U.S.A
Band: Bend The Knee
STICK SIZE: 5B
First and foremost I would like to thank my Dad for introducing me to this awesome instrument and kickstarting my passion for music.
I grew up seeing my Dad play on huge stages which is where I picked up the drums on my own. I played in a Jazz-band, concert band and marching band throughout my high school career.
I played in a few local bands, but nothing major until I moved to Virginia. After joining Genosha, we had the opportunity to support major acts like ZAO. After about a year, Travis Daniels (guitar), Rob Brill (bass) and myself, decided to start our own project called, Bend The Knee. Tim Medic shortly joined and became our vocalist. We just finished recording our first studio album and are looking forward to sharing it to the world in the upcoming weeks. We also have a music video in the works as well that will be premiering next Fall. This is my first major endorsement and as a drummer this is major, since I tend to go through sticks extremely fast.
WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
As a metal hardcore drummer I use size 5B drumsticks which are perfect for my type of music.
My favorite thing about collision is the consistency of weight in each stick and the durability.
It do a lot of rimshots and collision drumsticks can take a beating I don’t have to worry about breaking a pair in the middle of a song.
I would recommend collision drumsticks to any drummer not only for the durability but because this company actually cares for the artist regardless of their level. Having a company that wants you to succeed and will support you each step of the way means a lot. I’ve felt welcomed since day one and am happy to be apart of this growing family.
