Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on April 24, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Derek Grant! May your day be as perfectly timed and energetic as your legendary drum fills. From keeping Alkaline Trio's beats tight and punchy to rocking out with Walls of Jericho and Telegraph, you've proven that punk rock drummers age like fine wine—louder, faster, and always ready for an encore.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more memorable moments behind the kit. Whether you're laying down rhythms that make crowds jump or casually reminding everyone why drummers are secretly the coolest band members, keep doing what you do best: making noise in style. Cheers!
