Watch The Ghost Inside drummer Andrew Tkaczyk play drums for the first time since losing his leg in a bus crash.

The Ghost Inside drummer Andrew Tkaczyk played drums today for the first time since losing his leg in the band's deadly tour bus crash last fall. Tkaczyk shared the video below and called his return to the kit a "huge baby step." Go, Andrew!

Today was a huge baby step. I sat behind a drum kit for the first time since the accident, and it felt incredible. EVERY encouraging word and support from you all has gotten me to this point. I may not reply to every single person, but I've read EVERY single message/comment etc. from every single one of you. Thank you all so much for being on my side on this journey, it means more than words can describe. Also couldn't have done this without my TGI family and friends. Also my amazing sponsors at @sjcdrums @zildjiancompany And @vicfirth You're fuel to my fire, now watch me burn.
