"I’ve owned various brands of drum shoes in the past, but Vratim is my favorite by far. Having a shoe with the proper fit and grip is integral to playing at my full potential. Vratim offers everything I want in a drum shoe, while still looking sick. I haven’t wanted to take them off since I got them!"
