In this episode, Ky Richy is joined by his dear friend, the incredibly talented drummer Travis Maresca (@travthedrummer)! Travis shares his lifelong journey with drums, starting with a kit in his living room thanks to his drummer dad, and how a 2nd-grade teacher first noticed his rhythm.

Travis recounts pivotal moments, including moving to Newport Beach and being inspired by Blink-182, meeting his mentor Justin Mira, a chance encounter and performance for Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, and an inspiring conversation with his idol, Travis Barker. He also talks about his experiences with various bands like Twitch Angry, Old Soles, and Stay Out, past studio adventures, his current gear (including his signature Orange County kit and Yamaha EAD10), and his plans for future musical projects.
