Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on August 15, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Atom Willard! From pounding the drums with Social Distortion and The Offspring to energizing Angels & Airwaves, you've kept punk rock hearts beating faster than your drumsticks. Your rhythm has powered countless anthems that still echo in our ears—proving once again you're not just keeping time; you're making history.

Whether it's touring relentlessly or laying down beats that defy gravity (and age), you continue inspiring generations of drummers who secretly wish they had half your energy. Here's hoping this birthday rocks as hard as every stage you've conquered—and may your cymbals always crash louder than candles on a cake!
