The Ghost Inside's drummer hopes to perform with this device instead of his prosthetic leg.

Unsatisfied with his ability to play the drums via a prosthetic leg, The Ghost Inside drummer Andrew Tkaczyk and his father have been working on a new device that will enable Tkaczyk to drum effectively sans his prosthesis. You can check out a photograph along with Tkaczyk's description of "The Hammer" below.

This is something I've been excited to share for a very long time. My Dad is quite the handy-man, and came up with this great idea. Playing drums with a prosthetic leg just wasn't working out. The timing was way too off. There was a latency. It was awkward and clunky. My Dad had a vision of designing me a device where I didn't need to attach my prosthesis at all. This way there is no weight my limb has to lift which eliminates fatigue, and gives me a FAR better action when striking the pedal. With that said, I still have a long way to go before I get it 100% down, but it's absolutely the right direction to go in terms of playing as close to my full potential as possible! My Mom coined the name for this device so we've been calling it "The Hammer" ?? Going to stream live here on Instagram within the next hour so come hang out!
