“The Drummer; he inspired me to play like no one else I’ve ever met.” – legendary jazz musician, Chet Baker

If you sit down and talk with any music connoisseur, many of them will tell you that the drummer is the backbone of any great band. For Andre Drummond, the highly skilled, ambitious, and young center, that is no different.

Reigning from Mount Vernon, New York, and the University of Connecticut, Andre Drummond has quickly risen through the ranks of dominant players in the league, with monster stats and nightly highlights, that serve as an inspiration to his teammates on an exciting, fast-paced, and up-and-coming team, The Detroit Pistons.

In only his 4th season, Drummond is already leading the league in rebounds and double doubles and was an integral part of USA Basketball in achieving gold in the 2014 FIBA World Cup. He’s also no stranger to NBA All-Star weekend as he was named the MVP of the Rising Stars Challenge in 2014 with 30 points and 25 rebounds.

With the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend in Toronto vastly approaching, and numbers like his, fans everywhere shouldn’t have to be reminded why a player of his stature deserves to start. If they do, “Andre Drummond: Drummin’ With The Big Man” on VHS is a great reminder. Just don’t break your VCR jamming out to the intense beat of Andre Drummond’s monstrous style of play.
