Life's swinging hard, but you're swinging harder!

"its possible" oh my god

[@jim_dog]

Badass

[@Numernabis]

All these people taking care of Andrew.. My heart just melted.. I'm here after their newest tracked released few days ago.

[@6TaylorL]

Me as well!, love "Aftermath"

[@CharlieViking95]

What an absolute legend.

[@bobseN]

The last words of his mum made me cry. So much love for this guy and this band!

[@justinsayswtf]

I saw The Ghost Inside perform live a couple of days ago. I had never heard a song by them, but they blew me away and the drumming specifically was incredible. I had no idea about he and the band’s accident and subsequent journey back to making music and performing live.

[@TehJaytius]

I'm literally holding back tears. I don't think I'd have the courage to ever play again if I was in Andrew's situation. What an inspiration.

[@antoninospezzano]

RESPECT.

[@MrNotYet1]

Makes me so happy and so sad at the same time! Hope to see you on stage soon Andrew! :)

[@LegendOfTheLeaf]

Phew... the emotions.

[@intermezzono1]

Every time I see or hear stories about the progress they're making, I'm tearing up. I wish him nothing but the best. Can't wait to cheer and scream my lungs out when I see them again on stage.

[@EJ2K2K]

Did you?

[@jamesbarron7568]

Have you seen their new song!!?

[@GabrielXDrums]

bestdamnalex 😫😍 THEY ARE BACK YESSSS

[@michaelr.4878]

For those of you who are unaware of how this story played out.....just look up some 2022 footage of Andrew's band, The Ghost Inside. He is back to playing double bass patterns for whole songs..in a way that would make a lot of 2 legged drummers jealous. He doesn't use his prosthetic leg. He uses a device that his dad made...where he rests his 'stump' on what almost looks like a little padded stool..which is has a pole that is attached to his right pedal. Instead of using his foot, he essentially works his pedal with his hip....lifting his stump. When it comes down, the pedal is pushed..hitting the drum..and triggering his sample.

[@YeahImAnthony]

Made me cry when he said “ yesssss “ after playing on the hi hat.

[@joturna1]

I'm speechless this is so awesome it almost made me cry

[@skadude113]

When his mother cried, I broke down, I have no idea what that’s like to relearn your passion and instrument but that would definitely be my mother as well, supporting me and cheering me on every step of the way because she’s one of the only people on earth who understands how important music and drumming mean to me. Nothing but props for this dude, such a huge inspiration and I’m so proud of the whole band!

[@goncalocunha4821]

This is truly inspiring. All the best on your recovery Andrew!

hi Andrew, i played drum for 3 years, self taught and i always hate myself for playing suck, for cant keep the tempo, for always drop the stick down, for... cant read the drum node. There was a lot of times that i want to quit this and back to my normal life where i never have to try to anything, just work from 9 to 5, earn some, pay some but after i saw this video, downloaded, rename it "WATCH THIS AND KEEP PRACTICING"... you know! I would love to meet you, give you a hug and say "thank you!" for inspiring me every, every moment in my god damn life! :) i dont need any marvel film anymore cuz you are now my truly hero!

[@MaryFreeBed]

+Duy Trần Awesome.

[@billbenjamon9276]

+Duy Trần hey kid. he had already played in Vietnam with The Ghost Inside. i think he will come back at yourcountry with his band, you can hug him.

+Bill Benjamon i met him that night! truly amazing band! i became their fan from that moment and yes, i hope that we will see him again! :)

[@thrasstefan]

Incredible comment, I'm starting to learn drums in 1 month but I'm close to 19. Do you think it's to late to start now?...

[@gears3jakey]

its never too late :p I've been drumming for years now and I don't consider myself that great, but its people like Andrew that just inspire you to play, and I think its inspiration that makes you better because you play more. :)

[@GinoVee]

As a drummer I feel like this is the most underrated story since Travis Barker in that plane crash. This is a story that so many people can reflect on, learning to never give up on their passion. Keep it up, Andrew!

[@BETTER.ART.]

Andrews the fucking man! Wish him all the best.

[@screamingtubes6683]

This guy is such an inspiration since I got sick, this kept me going

[@trevorreniger5670]

Coming back to watch this after the LA Reunion show and this just makes me cry. Love you, brother. It's been too long.

[@montikore]

13 seconds and my eyes are already wet. I'm also a drummer and I'm losing my leg following a motorcycle accident. I've heard stories of Andrew's accident and his triumphant recovery and it inspires me already to no end. I can't wait to see more of what he did.

[@danielagu6185]

This is what you call dedication! Best of luck Andrew! You rock!

[@Ignorantpanic]

hope to see u jamming on stage soon Andrew.. Its a huge inspiration for all of us to see you still drumming and following your dreams no matter what.

[@Chilliconcarnage]

Never once a victim, just a determination to get to this moment and keep moving forward. So happy for you and your friends & family. It makes me so grateful for what I have, not think about what I don't. You sir, are an inspiration.

[@ryanswindell7474]

The Ghost Inside's songs are already full of the feels... I don't think anyone will be able to make it through a single song without completely losing it if they ever come out with new music. Hearing them play Mercy live will have an entirely new meaning "Life's swinging hard, but I'm swinging harder" You rock Andrew.

[@daveh9134]

Balls of steel. Love the band, Love the spirit and the stoicism of the boys. this inspires the hell out of me. Thanks, Andrew!! Best of luck with the recovery, man!

[@hdezedgar18]

Holy fuck dude. I don't even know you personally and I got emotional when you got on the kit and started playing!!!! I can already see all you guys back in the stage jamming out. You have so many people supporting all of you and it's great to see this. The Ghost Inside will rise again! And props on the "prosthetic" that Steve made!!!! Love your attitude towards all this. Still gotta have positivity throughout all this. Much love!

[@Tahta1994]

he's a strong man! ❤️

[@Faebass]

This video just made me feel good. There’s nothing better than seeing people pick themselves up after tragedy and keep doing what they love!

[@robertkilminster3402]

This guy makes me think you can get over whatever shit life throws at you. What a legend!

[@EhzeyeyesOutdoors]

This makes me happy to see that hes happy! Plus him slaying the kit again is an added bonus :)

[@dallasmcfaul3048]

That post credit scene gave me chills. Blown away by His determination

[@itgetsdajobdone]

A true inspiration, Andrew. Glad to hear you're recovering well.

[@Bennykaay]

saw you and your band in münster - germany..you guys were great back then! I hope you'll come back again to germany one day after all of that! amazing!

[@Errcyco]

Man was just watching him on the IWABO tour bus making everyone laugh with those creepily accurate German accent impressions lol

[@lucianodutto]

This shows that the ghost inside lyrics and message its true, they always keep going no matter what. They lyrics and music are amazing.

[@src0241]

Had no doubts that Andrew would be back when he said that was what he wanted. Such a beautiful thing to see him get back up and do what he loves!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@bastardofbodom07]

And now look at where Andrew has come. That was one hell of a comeback show for The Ghost Inside!

[@MK4vDubbin]

This is incredible. Can't wait to see you back on stage Andrew!!

[@seanmuller6012]

no matter what race,, genre or whatever.. any person this dedicated to music deserves so much respect.. \m/

[@AnthonyGhazel]

Damn, this made me tear up...so happy!

[@mattaio2728]

As a fellow drummer & fan of The Ghost Inside, I would be lying if I said there were not tears in my eyes right now.

[@Mindartcreativity]

So awesome to watch Andrew play again. God bless and much power to him

[@KCYON]

You are an absolute champion, Andrew. May you drum for the rest of your life with peace and love in your heart.

[@user-gu3ie]

Absolutely love the people who helped him trough this...hero's

[@mantastyle9078]

Sooooo much respect for him. Best of luck for him and the band! I saw them at Eastpak antidote tour in 2011 and it was awesome

[@dgrif777]

this is amazing. inspiring and insightful as to what you guys do at the hospital

[@TheAvibhatia1]

This inspired me to get back into music, thank you for demonstrating sheer will to make art through sound, against all odds. #respect

[@ProMatrixXx]

Andrew Tkaczyk - half man, half drumkit, full legend. haha greets from germany, love u TGI

[@FirefoxisredExplorerisblueGoog]

The drummer's tool for everything: When something goes wrong just add more (drum)sticks. Keep it up, man!

[@nibiru_1561]

I had no idea your injuries were so severe man. you have been one of my favorite drummers since 'changes' and my band played with you guys a few times over the years. Its inspiring to see you continue on and wish the best of luck moving forward. You are a great musician.

[@marcuscv827]

Who here is watching this after The Ghost Insides reunion show?🤘🏽 I was fortunate enough to go to that show and experience it in person. Andrew sounded amazing, as if none of this ever happened. Much respect!

[@d4c4n]

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the show due to the fact that i don't live in America. I'm sad that they didn't stream it... I hope you had a great time there!

[@marcuscv827]

@@d4c4n they recorded it so they can make a DVD of the show. Not sure when it will be released though

[@d4c4n]

@@marcuscv827 Really? That's great news. Thank you!

[@benflap9374]

Like his mom said: this team that is helping him is truly amazing! So awesome to see the positive energy they give him and encourage him in every way they can!

[@Tedrev228]

I was super lucky to see the ghost inside in a small country town in Australia called Wodonga. You were all brilliant and kind guys, i hope to see you playing in Australia again and by the looks of things you are kicking some serious ass on the road to your recovery, Your inspiring in so many ways! keep up the brilliant work Andrew!

[@deltavagen9796]

he lost his leg and is still able to smile and play the drums. respect

[@JonxExZomxB]

Words cannot describe the feels, Andy. 8) I've been a huge fan since early FTFD era. Seen you live multiple times. Can't wait to see all you guys back at full force!

[@evanlusty1334]

as it says in Mercy "I'd like to think I'd come out stronger, life's singing hard but i'm swinging harder" way to embody your music's message man

[@rayacore9914]

It is really inspiring to see a person driven by his passion even with all that he's been through. Keep it up Andrew! I hope you have a speedy recovery and will be playing back on stage really soon! Cheers mate

[@MaryFreeBed]

+raya barandino Nice, Raya. Cheers.

[@aspire9360]

[@byHorizons]

Glad to see you on the kit again man! It's only uphill from here, I wish you and the rest of the band the best of luck. Can't wait to see you guys live again!

[@bzink92]

[@kramnhoj42]

It's inspiring to look back at what he went through just to get back up. Never gave up and kept swinging. Now Ghost Inside is back!

[@chimaira602]

I can't even watch this without crying. I love the ghost inside so much and always will.

[@JTCavey]

Truly amazing story. God bless you, Andrew.

[@cameroncolclough885]

cant wait for the great comeback looking awsome so far man!! so happy to see you drumming again!!

[@whiteout628]

I was able to make it to LA to see Andrew and all of The Ghost Inside play their comeback show two weeks ago. It was absolutely incredible. Life swung at them hard, but they swung back harder.

[@IbanezLover12]

Seeing the progress from this to the comeback show last Saturday honestly brings me to tears of joy. So happy for Andrew and the rest of the boys in TGI

[@captainpantaloons]

Was thinking "how's he going to double-kick" through most of it. Made me happy to see the end! I haven't heard this band before, but now intrigued to have a listen and follow this guy's transition back to live playing.

[@APEX4EVER]

Breaks my heart and gives me hope at the same time

[@franciscodiaz3028]

No one can hit harder than life, but it's not how hard you can hit. Its about can you get up when life hits you. I really respect this man's positive outlook.

[@bobbleheadlimbs]

this is beyond inspirational. thank you so much for sharing your journey. This is so powerful. Wishing you and yours the best my friend.

[@lepanzon]

Seeing this makes me so happy for him. Can't wait to see him up and playing shows again.

[@denispellerin2815]

Your music has helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life I can't wait to see you live again I will be there when you come to Massachusetts or Connecticut keep it up Andrew you got this!!!!

[@KEVDRUMMER]

Wow, so much Respect, I wish you all the best Andrew!

[@carlospena426]

This band in general was so motivating prior to the tragedy and now they're even more motivational.

[@geordielaunder6179]

I bet getting on the double kick again was an amazing feeling! You're an inspiration mate, excited to see what the future holds for you.

[@Drownmeout344]

How can there possibly be any dislikes on this

[@matthewhewett9985]

Killin it with the putter at the end! Very nice!

[@kmellphotos]

So stoked for this. Glad to see these dudes are in good hands and high spirits! :-)

[@kingdom7777777]

Such respect to him and the band!

[@jayjd1996]

Nothing but joy to my eyes I cant even play with my left foot for bass drum

TRIUMPH OVER TRAGEDY - The Ghost Inside 2020

[@BrianOfAteionas]

Whoa! When I see this, I think of the possibilities. You could even have a leg that connects directly up. Completely bypass the pedal since there is no need, giving yourself a more direct control of the beater. Perhaps you could have varying weights on the leg where the position is variable. Personally, I think through practice and clever engineering it would possible for you to have even better control with your right leg, and in a way that no one else does. Think differently, play differently, be unique. This could be a blessing in disguise.

[@coltondillard1630]

not a fan of the band he's in, but this is just amazing! the rock n roll spirit can never die as long as you have the heart. rock on andrew!

[@joker069]

Can't wait to see more updates! Also can't wait for the day to see TGI on stage again!!

[@LastFrag]

Saw him a few years ago and this year will again at Blue Ridge with a meet and greet cant wait!
