THE FOURTH
DECADE!

40 years of practice runs. NOW the show begins.

Old enough to know better. Young enough to drum louder.

R.I.P.

YOUR 30s

2016 โ€” 2026

They died doing what they loved:
pretending to be young.

โšฐ๏ธ The Eulogy

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to say goodbye to things that no longer exist:

  • ๐Ÿ’€ Your metabolism โ€” gone, like your ability to eat carbs without guilt
  • ๐Ÿ’€ Eating without consequences โ€” one slice of pizza is now a 3-day commitment
  • ๐Ÿ’€ Staying up past 10pm โ€” voluntarily, anyway
  • ๐Ÿ’€ Sitting on the floor and standing back up gracefully
  • ๐Ÿ’€ Recovery time under 48 hours โ€” those days are OVER
  • ๐Ÿ’€ Knowing what the kids are talking about โ€” "no cap fr fr" means nothing to you
  • ๐Ÿ’€ Silence in your joints โ€” every move is now a percussion solo

40 isn't old. It's the remix. The director's cut. The acoustic version that hits even harder.

You've spent 40 years figuring out who you are. Now it's time to be LOUD about it. ๐Ÿ”Š

Your midlife crisis could've been a sports car. You chose DRUMS. Absolute legend. ๐Ÿค˜

Life begins at 40 because NOW you've got drums. So go make some noise. ๐Ÿฅ
