Between the Buried and Me

Blake joined Between the Buried and Me at the tail end of 2004. Since then, they've conquered multiple international tour cycles, festivals, and epic levels of debauchery. Richardson's band has toured with an eclectic range of artists including Dream Theater, Mastodon, Coheed and Cambria, and many more! Touring with such incredibly talented acts is a very positive creative influence on him as a musician.

  • Most memorable Next-Level Performance

    We opened for Dream Theater in the National Auditorium to a 10,000 person sold out crowd. That was my first experience in playing in a "next level" setting.
  • What Drives Your Creativity?

    Touring is definitely a creative inspiration. You learn a lot simply by watching other talented artists perform night after night. It's also very easy to pick up little tid bits of knowledge along the way!
  • Why do you choose Vic Firth?

    The Vic Firth Freestyle 55a is the most natural extension of myself. The goal of a drum stick is that it should have the most conducive elements to your style as a player. That's what Vic Firth has ALWAYS been for me!
