Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on July 07, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Dan Whitesides! From rocking the drums with The Used to your epic beats in Mich!gan, Sandkicker, and Fale—your rhythm has always been louder than Bert McCracken's hairstyles. You've kept us headbanging through countless shows and albums; honestly, we're still recovering from trying to air-drum along.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as you've brought energy into every performance. May your drumsticks never break mid-song (again), may your cymbals stay shiny enough for selfies backstage—and most importantly—may no one ever mistake you for "the other drummer." Keep drumming loud and proud!
