"It is so nice to never have to worry about drumsticks. Great feel, great company, made in the USA. What else could you want?"

Now a 10-year resident of San Diego, "Mean" Gene Padden is enjoying the peak of his music career, playing drums for Door 13 and former Wind Up Records act Papercut Massacre. He's a rare beast: a drummer with a house, a car, and a Master’s in International Relations. By day, he dissects analytics; by night, he unleashes sonic warfare. At home, he bows to his true overlords — a family including two cats who rule the mortgage — while plotting his next assault on the stage.
