For Mitch, the road is where the music truly comes alive. Night after night, the drummer has the job of delivering the foundation that drives Silent Theory’s songs, and that requires equipment he can trust when the lights go down and the first count-off begins. That’s where Scorpion Percussion comes in. As a Scorpion Signature Artist, Mitch plays Scorpion 5A sticks built with the same attention to detail and performance that he brings to every show.
