Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on May 31, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Chris Pennie! May your day be filled with more rhythm than a Dillinger Escape Plan breakdown and smoother grooves than Coheed and Cambria's epic storytelling. Your drumming has always been legendary—complex enough to confuse mathematicians yet powerful enough to energize stadiums.

From co-founding the mathcore madness of The Dillinger Escape Plan, where you defied musical gravity daily, to driving the progressive beats behind Coheed’s cosmic adventures—you've proven that time signatures are merely suggestions. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer broken drumsticks but just as many jaw-dropping fills!

Keep rocking timelessly; after all these years, you're still perfectly on beat!
