We bond with Connor over being Floridians, Nick Cannon is solely responsible for Connor’s drumming career, he explains the dynamics of playing in Beartooth and with pyro, getting drum lessons from Aaron Gillespie of Underoath, thriving on drum solos, his Three Levels of On-Stage Mistakes (copyright pending), why you only need one type of crash cymbal, and regrettably having a 20” floor tom.
