Thomas Crémier
(Psygnosis / Avalanche / Independent)

"I never really thought about how important shoes were for playing extremely precise and fast stuff. Just as sticks, we need to find the perfect length and weight to be comfortable and play as we need it to be. I use double strokes so I have to feel the pedalboard reacting to the drumhead. The Vratim shoes answer to all of my needs : playing tightly, great comfort, lightweight and on top of that, they look freaking awesome ! So sick to be part of the Vratim family !"
