"Having the best possible gear for a job is always very important to me. After trying out my first pair of VRATIMs, I knew I had found exactly that: A high quality, lightweight shoe that gives me the perfect blend of control, feel and grip on the pedal. My VRATIM drum shoes are as important to me as the right sticks or drum pedal, and I can't imagine playing without them anymore!"
