We’re thrilled to announce that Sid Stratton is heading overseas for their first-ever Japan Tour, marking a major milestone for the Orlando-based alt-metal trio. Known for their cinematic riffs and high-octane grooves, Sid Stratton continues to rise fast in the heavy-rock scene — and behind that thunderous sound is drummer Aaron Shook, a proud Scorpion Percussion Signature Artist.
Aaron joined Sid Stratton in 2022, bringing unmatched energy and precision to the band’s live performances and recordings. His signature Scorpion sticks — built for power, balance, and durability — are a perfect fit for the intensity of Sid Stratton’s sound. Since joining, Aaron has helped propel the band through standout performances at major festivals like INKcarceration and Spooky Empire, and now, across the Pacific.
The upcoming “Ashes to Diamonds Japan 2026” Tour will introduce Sid Stratton’s explosive stage presence and Aaron’s signature drumming to an international audience for the first time. Full dates and venues will be announced soon, but fans can expect a high-energy showcase of raw musicianship and artistry that defines both Aaron Shook and Scorpion Percussion.
At Scorpion Percussion, we’re proud to support and see our artists representing our craftsmanship on a global stage. Aaron’s dedication, precision, and creativity embody everything our brand stands for — durability, performance, and passion.
Stay tuned for tour updates, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and possible limited-edition Aaron Shook drumsticks celebrating this milestone.
