Nickolas Lyons

I was born Nickolas Aaron Lyons (but Nick is fine) on the 1st of December 1991. I’ve been playing drums for 17 years now, I played my first set at the age of 10 and immediately fell in love with it. I didn’t have my own set until I was 14 and with family risking losing their hearing, I learned slowly but surely. At a young age I was introduced into classic rock and 80s metal. My big influences were and still is a big influence and happens to be a fellow Soultone artist Steven Adler from Guns N' Roses. GN'R, Motley Crue Van Halen, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, AC/DC etc…When I got to high school punk rock become a heavy influence still with Metal as a major influence still. Motorhead was the band that did that for me Philthy Animal and Mikkey Dee are a few of my favorites. But punk rock bands like Youth Brigade, Minor Threat, Black Flag, The Exploited, Lower Class Brats, The Misfits, Sex Pistols, Bad Brains, etc…following that a lot of metalcore & deathcore Suicide Silence, Job For A Cowboy, Beneath The Sky, Elysia, Dr. Acula, Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, A Day To Remember, Emmure, August Burns Red, and so on. I’m an obvious grunge lover being from the 90s so yeah Dave Grohl from Nirvana and Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters. I can go on and on with my influences that are well known, but my bandmate Clyde Brotherton, who is in the band End Øf Season with me currently is my biggest influence. He’s taught me the true meaning of being a musician. And I will forever be grateful. And what keeps me pursuing my career in music is not only music itself but my son Brody Nickolas Lyons & my daughter Sophia Nikki Lyons. On behalf of myself and my bandmate and family we want to thank Soultone Cymbals for the endorsement, and I am very appreciative for it. I hope to stay with Soultone for a very long time and take part in helping the company grow. Once again I’m Nick Lyons from the band End Øf Season and I play Soultone Cymbals, one of the best cymbals I’ve ever played. Thank you.
