Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on November 26, 1984)

Happy birthday, Ben Wysocki! You’ve spent another year drumming your way into our hearts—proving once again that sticks and beats are mightier than swords. From tapping out rhythms on "How to Save a Life" to laying down grooves for sold-out crowds worldwide, you keep demonstrating precisely how one saves everyone's ears (and weekend playlists).

Here’s hoping your day is filled with more laughter than drum solos gone hilariously rogue—and fewer candles on the cake than cymbals in the studio. May this coming year bring even greater hits, endless applause, and enough rhythmic precision to keep your bandmates thoroughly impressed!
