When the pressure’s on and the show has to run flawlessly, Peyton Chisholm is the one you want behind the scenes. As both the Monitor Engineer and Drum Tech for Wage War, Peyton wears two critical hats—making sure the band hears exactly what they need and keeping the drums locked in and ready for war.

In this exclusive interview, Peyton walks us through what it’s like to live in two worlds at once—dialing in crystal-clear in-ear mixes while also being responsible for the heartbeat of the band. From mid-set troubleshooting to fine-tuning drum tone, Peyton is the calm in the storm that keeps Wage War sounding tight and explosive every night.

This isn’t just a job—it’s a finely tuned balancing act where technical skill, quick thinking, and trust from the band all have to be firing at full speed.
